[QUOTE="imartin, post: 1572446, member: 106328"] The first 20 rounds I put through my 7mm RM were from Federal. The ammo was labeled "deer thugs" or something dumb like that, so I'm not sure if it was "Blue Box" quality, but it was a 160 gr bullet and I know they usually sell 150 gr and 175 gr for 7mm RM in the blue box. Anyway, I can't necessarily speak to the quality of the brass, and I haven't tried to reload it yet, but what I can speak to is the quality of the ammunition. I was shocked at how consistent velocities were and how close they were to the advertised velocity on the box. I was really impressed. To me, that means Federal used quality components which would include the brass. I know other guys who start with blue box ammo to break in the barrel and then go on to load the brass. Not sure of others experience here, but that might be a route to consider. [/QUOTE]
