[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 765182, member: 39801"] Here is a similar thread that has some speculation (mine included) on possible causes of this type of issue. [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f28/powder-residue-entire-length-case-help-107307/[/url] Their issue was using virgin brass. Because you are only seeing this after 6 reloads, I am wondering if it may be to hardening of the brass at the neck. You might want to try a poor mans annealing trick on one case to see if it solves your issue . . . Hold a case at the base. Hold it so the shoulder/neck is over the flame of a candle. When your fingers get hot, quench the case in a moist towel. This should anneal the neck of the case and soften it. If your issue goes away, you should get an annealing kit that allows some control of the process (the way above clearly lacks sophistication), or pitch your brass. Let me know if you try it and what result you get. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
