Still issues with Starline .223 brass?

[Billinthedesert]

Was reading the Lapua .223 brass thread and more than one poster mentioned case separations with Starline .223 brass. Wondering if this is still happening, or if the "bad lot" if that's what it was has dried up and it is safe to buy Starline again. I have used their brass for many other calibers with perfect satisfaction.

I have used a bunch of Starline .223 brass, and I haven't seen an issue with case head separations. All of the Starline .223 brass I have is less than 5 years old, with most of if being purchased within the last year, or so.

Like you, "I have used their brass for many other calibers with perfect satisfaction."

I use their 5.56 brass in my 223, and over 200 pieces I’ve not had an issue yet. 2 firings purchased last year

I have 3 sets of Starline 223 brass all on their 3rd firing. I run them pretty hot and have had zero issues so far.

I'm sure you saw my post on the Lapua thread, but I had 200 pcs of .223 brass that I bought last year that were bad. They replaced with their 5.56 and so far, have two firings on 100pcs in a 223 ackley without any issues.
