[QUOTE="hweissert, post: 2095914, member: 34097"] Thanks for the in depth response. As mentioned in original post, I'm pretty experienced on loading, shooting, and rifle parts/repairs however, novice in machining at best. I do have a bore scope and have examined the chamber, throat etc best I can. I do not see any obvious grooves. I have also checked cleaned cases with micrometer and have found no bulges in the fired cases, or any other obvious damage to brass. All is to length. I resized some cases bumping shoulder 2thousandths and refired with "safe" by quick load and known to me loads with the same sooting as new brass and annealed new brass. I also neck only sized some without moving the shoulder at all. Same thing continued to happen. This makes me think you are correct in that there is just something minor inside that isn't allowing shoulder to seal case neck. But I have decided to not fire it anymore until I can get smith to look it back over. Still just puzzled. Thank you for your in depth response! [/QUOTE]
