I was going to say... I assume all that word fluff means they're nickel cases?

If so, I'm pretty sure they already existed :lol:

From the Federal site

The geometry of each round's case, bullet and cartridge ensures flawless cycling through tubular magazine and typical lever-action feeding systems.


I would argue that the "geometry of each cartridge" was already determined by the cartridge specs long ago :lol:

This does all seem to boil down to them using nickel-plated cases.

Their website confirms they are nickel.

Which would cycle better than potatoes for example.
So therefore we will buy that brand.

This product teaches us little about ammunition but more about sales/ marketing...I take a bit of an intrestin the psychology of such.....it’s not exactly brainwashing but it’s intersting why people buy what they do and what pushes them over the edge to the point where they reach for their wallet ...in this case somebody is already in the gun store and already mentally committed to buying 3 boxes of new 3030 ammo , and the little bit of extra info might steer him straight to the FEDERAL HAMMER DOWM
