[QUOTE="TracySes23, post: 868708, member: 52763"] I don't see anything wrong with your brass either. I've never loaded a belted magnum case before, but when I resize my 22-250 brass it has exactly the same appearance where the base of the sizing die seems to try sizing it a couple of thousandths more. I notice that appearance after resizing the first time. I'm on my 7th reload now & the appearance hasn't changed when I resize the brass. I believe most die manufacturers will make a free change to your sizing die which will fit your chamber if you send a fired case from that chamber along with your die to be reworked. At least RCBS offered to do that for nothing many years ago. I'm not sure it would change the appearance though. Drop them a line & ask advice from the company that manufactured your dies. I've had the beginnings of case separation before & it looked significantly different than that. If your sizing die is resizing that portion of your case more than 1/8 - 3/16 inch below that, then it is being worked more and will work harden faster very near that spot. I would suspect the belted portion would also resist being worked as much, simply because it's much thicker there, which I think would make that portion get worked even more. If you send them your photo along with a question about what you see, I'm certain they would give you similar input & probably better input. There are others on this site that have more experience than me. [U]Trickymissfit[/U], [U]JE Custom[/U] & [U]bowhunthard[/U] are the first ones that come to mind, however there are many more, I just can't recall their names. [/QUOTE]
