[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 1933061, member: 109378"] I always resize brand new brass of any kind...you'd think you could just open the box and get going but I've just seen too much "weirdness". While it should be good to go, I resize, measure OAL and then trim and prep as necessary. I even had one brand new box of Nosler custom in .260 Rem and new one of Lapua in 7mm-08 that had about six cases that needed trimming after resizing. I also had an entire box .375 H&H Nos Custom that was too loose to seat the bullet so had to resize the whole box. Looks like your necks are too narrow, or powder charge is not allowing bullet to seat into the case and seater die is then compressing your brass (I actually had that happen before). Try seating a bullet into a resized empty case...if it seats properly, you may need to change your powder and charge. If it doesn't, inspect your expander ball in te resizer die and seat plunger and crimp setting in your seater die. You may need to back everything all the way out in the seater and just carefully reset your seating die. FYI, I use an RCBS multi station brass prep tool and can completely prep a new batch of 50, all five stations in about 20 minutes.--I wish I'd have had that thing 40 yrs ago (of course they only started making 'em about 5 yrs ago:-)). It has a station for a neck brush and I just spray a shot of Rem dry lube about every 10 cases and that takes care of neck lubing without anything that could interfere with the properties of your powder. As an aside, I have one station left and I'm tinkering with fabricating the neck concentric turner from my Sinclair tool...man that will be the ultimate brass prep machine then...but I digress.
