Bummer. Maybe you can fire about 20 and reload them to see if the case has softened up some. Annealing 500 would be a chore.

But whatever you do, you should do it quickly because those virgin Winchester cases seem to multiply like rabbits when you leave them all together at night. Yours quintupled overnight!
