small splits in neck .223
« on: October 08, 2004, 02:29:20 PM »
i've been reloading some winchester brass,dont know for sure how many times i've reloaded the,maybe 4 or 5?today went out target shooting no wind at all,very nice,but the loads i've shot didnt group good? could this be the problem?one load i could cover with a dime,3 shots,today grouped 2 or 3 inches! is it because the necks are to hard? can this affect accuracy?  is it alright to shoot up what i got left,about 80?

Defects in the case necks can certainly cause grouping problems. There is most likely inconsistent bullet tension between all the rounds. That alone will probably cause problems. I personally would not shoot this stuff. Case rupture could be a possibility. At the very least  would inspect every round carefully and discard any that don't look good. KN
