[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1730114, member: 26227"] Bigedp51, this is the first time I have had problems with PPU brass. to answer your question or your misunderstanding: the PPU brass was fired from the offending Ruger American. once resized it will not fit in the chamber ever again without annealing and sizing 4 times. I can and have taken Remington-Peters, Federal, Winchster, Super Speed, Hornady, Western, W-W, and other brass Manufacturers from the range and sized them with 99.9% success of putting them in this chamber. PPU brass will not fit back in the chamber after he sizes them, I size them, Chris (a friend with another 243) can size them and none of these sizing dies will allow the PPU brass to go back into the chamber. they spring to over the length of the chamber. I was going to tell him to neck size only but then 50% of the brass will not go back into the chamber it was fired from. so that is out. this has been the most frustrating brass I have ever used. The utter travesty of all this it's only this batch of 243 brass. I have PPU brass in other calibers that I use for practice out on the range that I found on the range and use in my own guns. they work perfectly. it's just this specific brass and these specific two guns I am having problems with. I am going to ask a few friends to come up to my shop and see if these brass will fit in their chambers, just for giggles. [/QUOTE]
