A friend came over the other day to load some new 45acp cases he has had for about 20 years. I was sizing them and crunch my decapping pin broke. When I inspected the case it had no flash hole. I looked through the remaining cases to prevent busting another pin. Out of the 500 cases 13 had no flash hole and about 20 had off center holes. 18 of them had flash holes that were nearly as large as the primer pocket. We loaded the remainder of these cases with a mild load of Unique and a 230 FMJ and went to the range. Out of the 1st 8 round mag 6 of the cases split. I am in the process of pulling all the bullets and junking the entire lot of brass. Of course after 20 years there is no sense contacting winchester. It is not the first time I have had trouble with their brass but it will be the last. Their quality control hasnt been all that good for a loooong time.
