I've been using mostly Winchester brass for the last thirty years and never had a problem with it either. But I also haven't bought any new Winchester brass for probably about 10 years. So that's why I'm questioning the quality of the brass they're selling now. I did buy a bag of Remington 30/06 brass at Cabela's the other day. It was $24.99 for 50. They also had Winchester brass for $23.99 but I went with the Remington due to all the negative reviews of Winchester brass that I've read lately. I haven't had a chance to inspect the new brass yet but I'll post an update to this thread when I do.
