Hi There,
Just joined today actually.
Iv'e got a Zastava 17 HMR & quite awhile back bought a brick of 500 Federal Premium V-Max HV poly tipped. 17 gr. Had read a bit about various brands neck splitting, one guy said they already had a neck split from brand new out of the box. I still had 450 rounds, put on my reader glasses today & checked fairly quickly the whole 450 rounds, sure enough there was 5 rounds already had a distinct split in the necks brand new out of the box.
When I need to buy a new lot I'll also check the lot ! ( I'm 76 years old been shooting for about 64 yrs ! )
Regards
Brunka.
