[QUOTE="wbm, post: 1010492, member: 14158"] Not being sarcastic at all....it's just that people assume because they have a particular kind of brass and someone puts a post up that says they are having problems and it must be the fault of that brass. Someone else says oh yeah it must be the brass etc. etc....then suddenly it goes viral and Norma brass becomes "bad brass." What is ignored is the particular rifle being used, loading techniques, bullets etc. That just ain't logical. I love shooting and I really enjoy helping someone who is new to shooting get good information. Especially if they are shooting one of my favorite calibers. It well could be that the problem is indeed brass but there are better ways to determine that than just "assuming" it is because someone said so. But since you are neck sizing, my guess is that is the problem. In fact, I am about 99.9% positive that is the problem. Since you are new to reloading, ya have to know that many high power shooters do not neck size their brass. They use precision dies and full length resize. Neck sizing is great for extending the life of brass but it has it's own set of problems as you have discovered and at the same time discovered why many use precision dies and full length resize for competition. Glad to help if I can. [/QUOTE]
