[QUOTE="Weaselthis, post: 1277652, member: 19417"] If several of a particular lot are doing that, IMO, you probably should toss 'em. If you straighten out a paper clip and grind a sharp point on it, bend it into a small hook that will fit inside the case mouth, you can slide it down around the web and actually feel the "dip' in the brass that indicates it's about to separate. If you can't do that, you can cut one in half length wise and check for the ring inside that way. As Gohring3006 mentions, shoulder bump excess MAY be the cause. I experienced this in some 7-08 brass. I tossed all of them (200+ if I recall.....hurt but a LOT LESS than losing an eye)! I didn't trust them and they hadda go! [/QUOTE]
