[QUOTE="justgoto, post: 507872, member: 17125"] I regularly get the powder residue on my case neck, never heavy like you have there and never passed the neck. I would guess that you have full length sized the case too short. That would give you a young case life and possibly case head separation in just a few firings. I sure would like to see the whole case. I neck size only, unless I have insertion/extraction problems. But if you are set on using the full length sizer, I would set-up the full length die to where it just bumped the shoulder back a smidgen. When I do use my full length sizer I take one case of the batch I am going to size, and using the flame of a candle I put carbon on the shoulder. Then I set the die as to not touch the shoulder with a full stroke of the press. Then I tighten the die down 1/8 turn, run the case through the press; until I see that the carbon has been touched. Then I re-size the rest of the cases at that setting. [/QUOTE]
