[QUOTE="Tulsa Reiner, post: 2526198, member: 75815"] Problem solved: before sending in pieces of brass, I discovered that it was only sized brass that bore the markings. So I inspected the inside of the die with my borescope, and only saw minor lint and debris; nothing that I thought would cause this uniform pattern of lines on the neck as seen in my picture above. Nonetheless, I followed the advice of the Lapua technical rep, and cleaned the die by turning it upside down and filling it with Boretech Eliminator for a couple hours. Then I used a brass brush and cleaning cloth to scrub it out--- problem solved. The marks are no longer there. I guess they were caused by carbon left from inadequately cleaned brass necks when resized. Any comments would be welcomed........ [/QUOTE]
