[QUOTE="Gord0, post: 1763645, member: 99696"] My loads weren't compressed, brass was annealed, and seating pressure was not high. Happened with 2 stems for 300 win mag, and 1 for .223. I cut some length off the .223 so it was a little thicker area of the seater and it's worked fine since. The stem is too hard, and too thin. I'm no longer seating quite as far down the ogive, but it works well. Edit to add: The seating chamber was scarred on my win mag die and that was causing scratches on my bullets. I had to polish that out to stop that. [/QUOTE]
