Hi! Today I went out to the local Gander Mountain to look for 30-06 brass. I saw they only had Winchester in stock. I was going to get it until I looked it over. Many of the necks were almost oval in shape and many had burrs on them. I do recall someone stating that their quality has gone...

Hey guys! Shot some reloads my uncle made for me a bit ago. I noticed that about 75% of the cases has a crack or more in the neck portion. I am just getting into reloading so what causes this? Is this what "too much pressure" is? Could cheap brass do this too? The backgroung info is: Ruger...
