The above descriptions of highly uneven brass match with my recent experiences with Winchester Brass.


Yep.

I just rebarreled a .30-06 I had picked up for a very cheap price because it needed a barrel.

I went to get brass from a local retailer, and they had Hornady and WW in stock. The WW was ten dollars cheaper, but it stayed on the shelf.

My recent experiences with WW components has left me with some doubt in their QC, and a couple of pitted M1 bolts.
