It is pretty much what I expected, hence my DQ picture above. 😀
I had hoped for something more than redirected emails and correspondence, but it never hurts to try. It also explains why Winchester brass is usually the last stuff on gun store shelves.

The Winchester brass coming out of the lake city plant is pretty damn good. I picked a bunch up the other day, it all looked good. This is the stuff loaded with the 62gr green tip.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

What is the headstamp? WIN USA? Scamp dots? Winchester 223 is the head stamp. They sell it the 150rd card board box. Lake city also makes the frontier ammo for hornady. It’s head stamped with either 223 or 5.56. It all has a primer crimps,

For those that don’t know, Winchester won the contract to run the lake city plant.

I have a bunch of Win USA brass I picked up at the range not long ago...
I'm not as picky as many of you guys usually are...
But with this Win USA I'm not real impressed at all on it...
Some brass I did pick up that I have never seen before, was Jagemann out of Wisconsin...
only picked up 15 rounds, but that is DAMN fine brass...
checked out their site, they make it is a good cross section of cartridges, they just got that part of their division bought out by someone
who will start offering it to the public.... several on line vendors carried it, but like everything else they are "sold out"....

Seafire,
Natchez carries Jagemann brass. I ordered quite a bit of it in 223, 22-250, 243, 270, and 30-06. Found it to be good stuff. Hopefully whoever bought them out will get things up and running quickly. Will be ordering more when I see it.

I bought 1000 Winchester cases in 223 about 10 years ago, great quality with ZERO issues. apparently their quality went down hill sometime in the last 10 years Winchester has turned to garbage. Bought 7x57 brass a few years back and the neck thickness variance was about .004-.005. Until I hear different, in won't trust their brass again.

Digging in the garage i found 100 new Norma .223 cases, and 100 new .22-250.
Have a few blue bags of .22-250 win.
They havent been opened so dunno what QC is like
The Norma was bagged in Ziplocs so can sort through those if need be. Im gonna take a wild guess and suspect theyre all fine LOL.

Interesting thread, opened another ammo can last night to find 315 LC Match cases and over 400 "W C C" cases marked '69 and '94, i take those to be Winchester? ran a handful through the small base 223 dies, cleaned pockets and seated new primers, seems plenty good to go to me, i may load all those with varmint powder under 62gr Bear Claws and 64gr Nosler Bonded.
Trump Won!

Seafire, curious, what did you not like about the Win USA brass?
