The issue with Federal is being on the soft side. Works fine with loads that are on the mild side, and it holds up well in common handgun chamberings for that reason, but not so great with full house high power rifle loads. Unfortunately I've heard of a couple of lots of Winchester from over the last couple of years that were also soft like Federal. Possibly a consequence of moving the manufacturing facility. Nonetheless, I'd favor the Winchester unless you knew that particular lot had an issue.
