[QUOTE="waspocrew, post: 2916327, member: 78732"] Is the alpha brass new or once fired? My new 22 CM Alpha brass has extremely tight necks to the point it was deforming bullets while seating. I had to expand with a mandrel to make it go away. Otherwise, as others have mentioned, it's likely compressed powder. Use a drop tube or vibrate with a toothbrush to get it to settle. I had the same thing happen in my 6 ARC recently - backing off the load made loading more smooth and there wasn't a ring on the bullets after seating. [/QUOTE]
