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.

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.

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 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.
