I have found that, as a rule, the Federal brass is thicker than other makes, and consequently the "boiler room" area is less, requiring smaller charges of powder for similar pressures.

Stated differently, you will reach maximum safe load pressures with Federal brass at lower charge weights than you will typically find with Winchester brass, all other things being equal.
