… like it. Me? Not a fan. Only use it when it’s the only game in town In the process of loading all my 25 WSSM brass, all 450 cases. This is what I found in the first bag of 50. Found 3 more so far with 200 new cases processed Nice ey

From what I understand WSSM's have a short case life.

Loaded 300 for the 222 last weekend. 1 bad brass from each bag of 100.
Pretty typical from what I have seen over the last 20+ years.
Every now and then you get lucky and get an extra piece or two to cover it.

Looks like their quality control ain’t what it should be. I’m guessing those were relatively expensive too.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Every now and then you get lucky and get an extra piece or two to cover it. Winchester brass? Yes. In 20+ years I have rarely had 100% of the brass be perfect. If you get a perfect bag the next bag will have 2 bad pieces. Call em w lot # and they may send you put a piece or 5.

Previous to 2000 or so, Win was my preferred brass of it, Fed, or Rem. But it seemed like it failed after that. Now will use Starline or Hornady for regular stuff. Lapua or Alpha for the more serious loads.

I believe that 30 years ago they had better quality control. At least the 500 pieces of 375 H&H brass has been very good so far! memtb

Must be a typo. I don’t think 57 gr. Of H335 will fit in a 223 case. 27.5 probably will though. For hunting loads WW brass is fine.
