I've had excellent results out of once fired brass of various brands in my 7mm Rem mag & 270... Perhaps it's the gun and not the brass. Those 2 700 models are tack drivers. However, I discovered the 22's are a lot more tempermental, regardless of brand of rifle...A buddy of mine and I reload 22-250's in Howa, Remington, and CZ. The Howa likes remington...The remington likes Federal... and the CZ likes Winchester and Federal...hmm...seems odd. Could be the bullet to...Who knows.
