20 ah
first of all good observation. I tried a few at different heights and because the 218 bee brass needed to be blown out almost to a straight case, I went with what you see, I lost a total of 32 case out of 500, mostly to that split, a few others just to other damage . I have two firings now on the remaining 468 and am quite happy with them. if there is a danger, I am not understanding what it could be. but it is just a hornet. the other thing is trying to setup the bench source for that small of a case is a bit of a challenge. I am sure some expert can tell us how many firings it takes to work harden the brass back to normal. it probably depends on whether you full length size and how big your chamber dimensions are. any way I love my 20ah. I shot another 400 at squirrels last weekend and it seamed like there was no limit to how far I could shoot it. just go up another cross hair in the the scope , over one dot for wind and watch them flip.

Interesting.
Yes, I suspect if the chamber isn't much larger than the brass, the annealed body of the brass isn't going to create much of a problem, but it will allow the brass to "grow" more than if it were not annealed, and annealed brass won't spring-back any like you need to extract the spent cases. And the more straight walled chamberings are worse for extraction problems than tapered cases like say a 243, 22-250, etc. A K hornet is pretty blown out to very little body taper. If it works, great, just allows more potential for having to FL size cases than if the annealing had stopped closer to the shoulder. Are you headed up a few hours due north ( wink-wink) when you've seen that mess of Skippies? Glad someone is killing them vermin, I have a few more weeks before doing the same. |

I had that happen on some 7.62 NATO brass I was using to run Highpower in my M1A. It was new, disassembled from loaded USGI ammunition. Brass was "RA64", if I remember correctly, but I can check later. I initially had troubles with neck splits, so, I started into the fun world of case annealing. That solved the neck splits, but then I got a body split like that and figured I should "call it" with that brass. I scrapped the whole 1000 lot. I now suspect, in my case, at least, the loaded ammunition had decomposing powder inside which compromised the integrity of the brass.

It is a waste to toss good brass needlessly, but on the other hand, one must take care.

All the issues we saw were from the newer 2017 and 2018 Red bagged Win brass. All the older blue bag and pre-bag have been fine. As for head stamp the problem brass is "WIN .22 Hornet"
Rather than the older "W-W" head stamp
