I was looking at the reviews for Winchester .243 brass on Midway and they are rather scary. Midway is out of stock anyway, but the local Scheels had some on the shelf. I know the bag that they ship them in could be an issue with damage during handling causing some of the bad reviews. But the benefit of the clear bag is that you can do a bit of visual inspecting through the plastic.

Since the wife was shopping for workout wear I had plenty of time to look at the 4 bags of .243 that they had in stock. The bags all had cases with minor visible issues, mostly out of round necks. I bought the best looking couple bags and have had no problems with split necks or primer hole size.

Looking at the reviews though you can see that Winchester definitely had some quality issues in the past. Some rate them perfect, some say they are horrible.
