Just got a chance to try out my new (to me) Remington 700 VLS Varmint Rifle in 22-250. One of the local K-marts had 12 boxes of Winchester on clearance for about $13.00 a box and it just drove me nuts seeing it setting there every time I went in the store. Anyway, found what I think was a pretty good deal on one of these guns and bought all the ammo they had on sale (I even posted it here hoping someone would buy it before I broke down. I shot a box and a half of this ammo yesterday and the gun is probably one of the most accurate guns I own. At 100 yds these store bought rounds were touching for the most part dead center. About 4 rounds into a 5 round group one of the bullets would drop below the group about an 1 or 2. After examining the brass, I noticed the neck was split all the way down the shoulder. Out of 30 rounds, 2 had split necks. I had hoped to use this brass for reloading since it was now fire formed but now I'm wondering if annealing would help prevent the others from splitting. Any suggestions? They sell used brass at our range but when I asked if they had any 22-250 I was told it all had split necks so they don't offer it for resale anymore.
