Just picked up some 300 Win mag brass. I choose the Winchester brand over Nosler or Hornady. It was cheaper and I am cheap. So I run them through the die , just to make the necks round and then started to champher the necks to debur. 12 out of the 50 are throw aways. This is just not right. I will be using the top brands from now on and I think I will be saving money doing so. For long range accuracy the neck tension is the most important for the velosity spread.

        Could be bad alloy, but I would think needed annealed? (nm) - Asa, 2020-06-11, 11:41
