[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 839496, member: 4191"] Getting the case necks too hot will reduce the elasticity of the brass. The case neck will be soft such as to deform more easily and the tensile strength is reduced. The case neck will deform easily compared to healthy case necks. If you've dropped down 0.002" in bushing size and the case necks still won't hold bullets, then that's a pretty certain sign you over-heated the brass case necks. The case necks will expand when the bullets are seated with little force on the press handle, and the bullets won't be held tightly because the brass has no tensile strength to hold the bullets under tension. Hope you can salvage them, but it doesn't sound good, based on your descriptions. [/QUOTE]
