Understand! At least the lady at Winchester was nice, she didn't try to make excuses, sent me a return label, said to send it all back, it would be about two months to see my refund check. I call that service.

How that happens is that no one is actually counting them, they are packaged by weight & if that run was a fraction heavier than normal, you'll get 1 less.
I bought 500 223 Lapua Match brass and had the same problem
Lapua is supposed to be the best made and has the word Match on the box which to me me stands for the best it can be and I hope they are not getting a little sloppy on their inspection process.
Not bashing and will still use them unless things go down hill further on 223 brass.

Do you have the correct contact info?

Agreed I think the only thing wrong with the brass is it's discolored for whatever reason. If someone has a problem with a product they should go through the proper channels of returning it where they got it.
I think calling out someone who works for a very large company over the weekend on an Internet forum about a problem and expecting an immediate or any response over the weekend is asking a bit much.
I'm sure these guys have a life and enjoy thier weekend as much as anyone else.
i have not tried it yet..
Certainly. During each stage of the case forming process, after each annealing, the cases are pickled to remove the discoloration. After the final forming process, LAPUA leaves the annealing discoloration at the neck/shoulder junction in place. LC does essentially the same thing with the 5.56 NATO brass. Tumbling in media will remove the discoloration.
Or, you could just dip the brass in a jar of pickle juice
funny you mention Lapua .223 brass issues. i use Lapua brass for .223, 6BR and .308. only does the .223 brass shoot like crap (relatively speaking) when new. big difference compared to when fire formed in the rifle. this has been the case with 3 different .223 barrels i have used them in. on the other hand, my Lapua 6BR and .308 brass performs only slightly better when fire formed.

Then they should sell them by weight not units
Ok, but the mint weighs paper money, should that be by the pound or
face value?
