[QUOTE="Huggy, post: 2120349, member: 101145"] I agree and you hit on a point many don't consider and that being various brass cases and their rigidity or softness. Case manufacturers specify brass supplies to meet specific needs WRT tensile strengths and a host of other considerations but they have a + and - to allow for variances in supply stocks. As long as the materials are within their engineered needs and tolerances they are satisfied it will produce a safe end product. So it is not inconceivable that we can end up with a case that came from a batch from the "lower end" of the tolerances, thus a softer material, i.e., a "soft" case. And has already been addressed, soft is subjective and shooting two cases of different brass lots can exhibit different appearances after firing. The thing is, do WE know if the cases we bought are made from the same lot of brass supplies or did they ALL (several differing lots) go into a ginormous box to be later sorted and run through QA then shipped to the end user (us reloaders) wherein we do the best we can to ensure the utmost in identically crafted cartridges, all things considered? You's pays You's money and You's takes You's chances, as they say. But it is all part of our quest to repeatedly shoot those elusive 5-shot, 1-hole groups time after time. Regardless, I hope we ALL shoot safely and enjoy our hobby. God Bless. [/QUOTE]
