[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1196510, member: 1521"] [IMG]http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/ss148/lrshooting/20160427_145347_zpsllytyx0i.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] I see & read a few things here that seem out of whack. None of what's going on here seems John's fault. IMO, You shouldn't pester him as a difficult customer, doing something unintended with his dies. What is the original cartridge, and what are you forming from it? Did you turn the necks with a turning system, or ring them with pliers to cause that? It 'looks' like the cut goes very deep into neck/shoulder junction (enough to fail soon). You should not be expanding necks-to-turn with a ball. You should be using a turning system expander mandrel. You should process anneal prior to forming & then use a proper forming die(not a std FL die). I would COW fire form this new cartridge, and I would drill & mold a spare seater plug to that specific bullet ogive using J-B weld. There may be an easier way to form this cartridge. If there is, we can **** sure figure it out here at LRH! [/QUOTE]
