[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1319068, member: 13632"] Adjust your dies and go on with life, your brass if fine, the primers are flat which happens with a little jump and we see it all the time for various reasons but the cratering is likely from a larger firing pin and would be solved with having the firing pin bushed which is common enough guys make a living doing it. Firing out a case a few thou will do nothing bad as long as you adjust your dies to push the shoulder back correctly. If it bugs you just talk to the smith, setting it back .002 which it sounds would put it under the no go is nothing and would not need hardly any work to do not requiring any major set back or rechamber or anything of consequence. Who knows why it's a little long, there could be a little spot somewhere that he didn't see that gave him just a touch tighter feel, he may have a little longer gauge which I have seen between manufactures, call the smith and talk to him before listening to the sky is falling scenarios or load it and see how it measures up and rock on!
