[QUOTE="Patriot007, post: 1912281, member: 111276"] You stated that after FL sizing, you then run them through a vibratory cleaning process. JMO, but, "some will agree and some will not." YOU should never vibrate your cases after sizing. Use a Q-tip and a cloth to wipe off any sizing lube. IMO, you just destroyed your sizing case prep and will need to start over. Also, if you are not Annealing your cases,,, Your neck tension will be all over the map. One more thing off the top of my head, is. The soot ring around the case neck could be uneven case neck wall thickness. Turning necks help eliminate this problem and allows the neck to seal and retract as the bullet exits the barrel. It also, along with annealing helps in getting proper neck tension. One other thought, a dirty chamber and throat will cause this problem also, with the soot ring. JMO. There are some more experienced reloader's on here that can add to this discussion. I would love to know how you solved this problem. There are a lot of variables at play here. [/QUOTE]
