New Winchester brass

It seems like they send all the good brass on for ammunition production, and sell the seconds as component brass.
Unfortunately, Remington isn't much better. 
If you don't want to play the bad brass lottery, you have to stick with better manufacturers (Lapua, Norma, Hornady, etc). |
With the amount of Win brass I've scrapped lately I can't see Hornady, lapua etc really costing that much more per piece.
