Win Brass

Loads of full pulling the bullets from the ones that still had good necks, salvaging the powder and priimers so that I could anneal the necks. They've worked just fine ever since.
Paul B.That's some interesting info... Thanks...

I guess it's too late to send them back, I bought them 5 years ago and really in the big picture I didn't lose anything as I forgot I had them ( and the bad ones are already gone and the rest processed).. Lesson learned though.

I will pull the remaining and anneal though, I would feel better about knowing I've gone through them all. I didn't even think to do that, let alone the fact that they could all be borderline to cracking.

Thanks
