Spent some time today killing some paper with the 223. I needed to finish off a box for some brass for my next bullet to try. This was a proven load with RL12 with Federal 62gr Fusions. I decided to try for a 40 shot group.

After a while you lose your bearings on your point of aim when it is shot up. However I was getting some flyers. Well later I was depriming the brass and notice some necks were splitting or showing creases in the necks.

When this brass was new 4 pieces out of the bag were showing signs of splitting. Called Winchester up and they sent me a RGA label to send those 4pcs back to them. They cut me a check for the full value I spent on the bag. In fact I have several 100 Winchester cases I use for free because of issues with their brass. At least they stand behind their brass.
Back to today , this was the 8th firing on this brass with annealing each time. I culled 13 pcs today bring me down to 65 of the original 100.
