[QUOTE="TheDerkster, post: 1183863, member: 92447"] I was forming cases for a 7mm Sherman short mag, and wasnt paying attention to my case quality because the first few were good. I went to eject and put another one in only to realize it would go in. Come to find out, I had the top if the case separate of from the body right at the shoulder body junction. I got the stuck piece out, and I know why it happened. I pushed the shoulders too far back some how. I though I had them good, buy I guess not. They are probably 70 thou to short. Is it even safe to use these cases any more? It was virgin Norma brass, but I feel that after multiple runs do too a couple if hiccups in the press, it got over worked so im thinking about annealing it and that will solve the problem because many of them turned out good. I threw away anything with a slight ring. I didn't want to risk it. I also thought about lubing the cases with hornady unique . What do you all think? I mean the brass is 150$ and I just basically ruined most if it if I can't salvage it, but medical bills are always much higher. [/QUOTE]
