[QUOTE="jreagle, post: 1838198, member: 40992"] No split necks here in 6.5 CM Hornady brass, just retired a few 10 times fired cases due to thinning above the case head that showed up as the "shiny ring'. primer pockets were all tight. The cases were annealed and trimmed after every third firing. Brass was FL sized bumping shoulder .002". Sometimes sized with the expander ball and sometimes no expander then expanding the neck with a mandrel. The batch before this one was retired after 7 times firing for the same reason. To be fair I did move the bump from .003 with that last batch retired after 7x to .002 with this current batch retired after 10x fired. Finding that Hornady 6.5 CM brass in general usually needs more prep and sorting out of the box vs Peterson or other premium brands, otherwise it works well here. [/QUOTE]
