I was suprised to find it had very little case neck run out, compared to some factory winchester UMC I have bought. good points end there
Its got some serious issue with velocity swings, in the range of a couple hundred FPS.... makes it hard to group at longer ranges.
The hot rounds were banging my mini14 around pritty good, damaged the oprod and bolt roller lug and triger group with the excessive recoil, a weak mainspring didn't help either. some of those hotter rounds were throughing the brass 45 feet on the mini (normal is 10-15 feet).
I was looking at 1/3 casualty on the brass from initial firing (split necks, collapsed beyond repair necks, large case wall dents, presure signs on the case/head seem, ripped case heads), so my plan to reload it is pouched.
And as mentioned before.... extremly dirty
