[QUOTE="7stw, post: 601217, member: 22854"] Driller, the only thing that I can think that has happened is while you had the dies backed off too far, your brass was actually growing. Now that you have them adjusted properly, the die is pushing the shoulder back, and has probably put a kink or a bulge in the case some where. Sometimes it is at the shoulder edge, or it could be in the main body area. Long story short, that brass is no good. I would discard it and get some fresh brass and start over. Once the brass grows to fill the chamber and is not kept in check with F/L resizing, it's over. There are ways to properly measure the growth of you brass in the chamber and would require purchasing a RCBS precision mic. That set-up is awesome. It takes a little explaining, but is awesome for belted mags. Fair warning, don't fire that brass! 7STWlightbulb [/QUOTE]
