    Then after firing about 14 rounds, I was putting the fired brass back in the box and noticed I had a split neck! I quick check and I actually had 4 split necks on brand new factory ammo.
    Had a chat with some others at the range and all agreed it was very odd! Someone suggest I checked the unfired rounds I had left, a quick look and sure enough 2 of the unfired rounds had split necks!
    So it's gone back to the shop and waiting to see what they say about it.

    I run Winchester factory ammo in my .300wsm and .308 never had any issues with those.
    But the quality of Winchester brass did seem to be a common comment of others out at the range.
    Also after some googling, I came across other reports of similar issues but from the early 2000's and then a one off in 2020, mostly to do with .22-250, so wonder if it's a calibre specific issue
