[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1439687, member: 28965"] I have seen the same problem on pistol and rifles cases when sizing and I'm not sure I would blame the die. My guess is the case diameter above the belt is larger than your other brands of brass. I think I see a slight bevel on the far right case in your photo, Meaning you can see where the rounded mouth of the die stopped sizing and the flair it left on the case. I'm just not sure if the case was made larger in diameter or if it increased in diameter when fired. Below a .308 case sized with a small base Dillon die and softer Federal brass. Remington cases sized in the same die had no problems. So again its larger case diameter and the die pushing the brass and not sizing/squeezing.

Just chuck the mop in a drill and go to town on the die moving the mop in and out. Again my gut feeling is the problem cases are a larger diameter just above the belt and your plowing brass. [/QUOTE]
