It'll come..
My advice to STW shooters is if you can find Winchester brass buy it all up. Mike, why Winchester over R-P? I assume we won't have trouble finding 8mm brass for a long time, which we can make work.

Neither. 7mm Remmag. Popular, ammo available everywhere, will out do the AI and BDLs for peanuts are everywhere and you'll never lose a dime when selling time comes. Not an Elk living that it wont kill with properly constructed bullets at sane ranges. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=159655637

I was running into split necks to often with minimal reloads on the cases.That was with Remington headstamp 7 STW.As for 8 mag I've only resized a few.Perfer proper headstamp cases myself.But they seemed better. In that cartridge I've found the W/W cases more consistant longer lasting tighter primer pockets ect.And most important not one split neck.

I've found I can load my R-P brass 3x, no mas. At 3x, some of the cases crack above belt.

Interesting.
I had always thought maybe I got a batch of hard brass.But seeing yours are splitting in the webbing above the belt maybe we both recieved some.Tough call.
