I've heard rumors that later PPU brass wasn't annealed, either, and splits when trying to fireform it to K-Hornet. (I shoot a stock Hornet, so it doesn't matter to me, but I thought others might find it helpful). The older PPU brass is pretty good stuff, or so I'm told. I've only bought one box of it, and still haven't tried loading it yet. I've still got about 40 rounds to shoot up before I endeavor that chore.

You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
