It seems there has been a few QC issues at Winchester lately. Out of spec primers and split necks on new brass. Hopefully the bean counters are getting swapped out, as it seems this is where these type of issues originate.
The problem of split necks has been with them for a long time - all companies have them, but Winchester's QC inspection people are out on long coffee breaks.
Other than that, Winchester is the best domestic brass - much better than Rem, Fed and the rest.
