Headstamp recessed, causing slight gas leaks around primer.
On 4th loading, necks cracking. Out of 20 brass , 8 failed.
After firing, necks were cleaned with fine steel wool. Neck tension .001" to .002" bushing die used.
Contacted Hornady, would not replace brass. Unlike here- https://forum.accurateshooter.com/t...rence-of-head-stamp-on-factory-brass.4039617/
I have winchester 243 Win brass loaded over 20 times, NO annealing & no neck problems.
When buying ammo or new brass, always look for defects like this.
