Also, on the head of the casing I always saw "WWB" stamped there. Not any more, they're outsourcing probably.

Winchester sold the metals Division to Global Brass a few years ago. Still the same plant, machinery and people as it was when Winchester owned it.

The ammo in the pictures I bet came out of the new plant, not the East Alton plant.

101 rounds is very common. The unofficial record was made by my brother in law ten years ago. He crammed 112 rounds into a box and put it on the line after the scale. It would not have passed the scale since the box was too heavy.

What email address did you send it too? I can't find it on their site. No "contact us" link or anything. Maybe they don't want pissed off customers contacting them, LOL!
