[QUOTE="The Oregonian, post: 1639710, member: 51405"] Couple of more things...I measured fired brass and there was no increase in thickness at the case mouth and no flare at the mouth. Here are pics after using a sharpie to check for contact points. Kind of tough to see bc of glare but i circled the key parts. Out of 5 that went through FL body and bushing sizing, neck expander, and seating, 1 wouldn’t come close to chambering, 2 were difficult but would chamber, and 2 chambered without any issues. One the one that wouldn’t chamber there is wear on the shoulder from it trying to eject as I extract it. But there is marker rubbed off right around the case mouth at the very tip...very tough to see bc it is a very line line and hard to decipher from glare. One the two that were difficult to chamber there are two spots on the case mouth that are small but it created a burr you can feel with a fingernail. There is also a ring around the neck where the marker is rubbed off. There is wear on the shoulder but that is from trying to extract...it was always between 12 and 1 of how the case was oriented in the bolt claws. Nothing on the two that chambered as normal. Pics...both difficult to chambers look almost the same so I only added one pic. The one without a label is the one that wouldn’t chamber - for some reason Apple won’t save any text I add to the pic.
