Re: 500 Jeffery

Bought some RCC 425 WR brass for a friend's retirement. Loaded with some nice bullets. About a third of them split on the first firing. Not just the neck, like halfway down the case. Wasn't my loads, wasn't the rifle. It's current owner was on his 5th reload per case with cheap australian brass last I checked.
Considering that the RCC ran me 3x what the australian brass did, I was fairly pissed, especially seeing as they were supposed to be a really nice gift for the guy.
With what their 500 Jeffery brass costs, I'm not risking it. I'll wait for norma to come back into stock, or see if my ammo guy can rustle some up.
I've never had issues with Norma, RWS, Remington, ADI or Bertram brass for that matter straight up.
Years back I split every 7mm Rem Mag brass from Winchester - like you I wasn't happy!
It can happen, so if in doubt anneal from the start, regardless from where you get you brass from!
