[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3523681, member: 15054"] I had a neighbor that bought Hornady Lever evolution ammo for his 30-30 Marlin. He knew I reloaded and gave me the box of 1 time fired 30-30 Hornady brass. Just about all the cases had splits in the shoulder. I contacted Hornady and they wanted my neighbor to contact them. Hornady shipped 2 new boxes of the same ammo to him. They wanted him to shoot 1 20 count box and send it back to them for inspection and he could keep the other box and do whatever he wanted to do with it. That box he sent back had already paid shipping from Hornady and No split shoulders in that batch. Seems some cases got a little too hard or missed the annealing temp a bit after forming the brass. I anneal all my rifle cases each time before resizing. Not really because I am worried about split necks but because I get even bullet seating forces and better accuracy. I met a guy that has 1 time fired .243 brass, I did not buy it due to the case head had multiple dents from firing pin hole. Multiple times fired and hot loads at that. I pointed that out to him you can believe that. [/QUOTE]
