[QUOTE="cquist, post: 2234652, member: 92933"] From the first post, the first number is the Hornady cartridge prior to firing, the second after firing, and the third, what the manual says should be for that cartridge. I went and found some Remington 22 Hornet Ammo and took it out and fired two rounds. The brass looks fine. If I didn't know about the previous problem I would not have even thought there was anything wrong. If you look closely, there is a slight, and I mean ever so slight ring. When you look at the ring, you think about running your brass through a full length resizer, that leaves a slight ring, but no lips or change in diameter at that point. Prior to firing, the diameter just forward of the rim is: Hornady - 0.2916" Remington - 0.2928" After firing - 0.2956" - in both cases. The spec calls out 0.299" Since I purchased 3 boxes of the Hornady ammo, I now need to go out and try shooting rounds from the other two boxes. If the Remington works, then that is what I will use from here on. I need to find some Winchester brass and see about it. They had some a week ago (1 box), but apparently it has now been sold.
