[QUOTE="7mmTikkaShooter, post: 1990689, member: 92915"] That’s hydraulic deformation from excessive case lube on the shoulder. Over annealing can cause some dangerous conditions to happen and things like blown primers or case head separation would be likely. That said, your annealing line looks appropriate from what I can see and as long as you adhered to the what the Tempilaq was showing you, I’d feel fine about shooting them. I run into the same issue with an RCBS lube pad with other calibers and I don’t adjust the load at all. The case capacity difference is negligible and probably less than running virgin brass. After next firing the brass will be back in shape. I find that using my fingers to wipe the lube off of the case eliminates the excess and still provides the necessary lubrication. One other thing you could do is just give the dies a good cleaning. If you’re seeing issues from excessive lube it might be a buildup inside the die. In my opinion I would not throw out that brass and load them up. Happy shooting. [/QUOTE]
