That's what many people are saying. You would think if their QC dropped badly, Winchester would have corrected things. How wide spread is it?

Interesting. I wonder how 308, 30-06 brass and other cases from Winchester are wrt quality?


Maybe you are living under a rock ,but I thought it was a known issue with Winchester brass. I stopped buying it because their QC really sucks. I know there have been threads on this. Mainly regarding the red and black bag stuff. I had to buy a damn chamfering tool to take burrs out of the inside of the case in the flash hole. Never have had to do this before with any manufacture's brass, but Winchester has been total garbage for about 5 years now.
