[QUOTE="dmax1800, post: 959711, member: 68255"] I think I have found the problem. lightbulb I annealed 3 cases, immediately quenched them in water, dried them off, lubed them, measured from the base to the datum, resized them and then measured them again. Even with the die just touching the shell holder with the ram all the way up, I got 4 to 5 thou of shoulder bump. It has been probably 5 months since they were last annealed. Some of the brass were reloaded 3 months ago and didn't have a problem. Apparently they hardened in that short time. I would never have guessed that they would harden in that period of time. Guess I'll have to anneal them before trying to resize them. Should I wait a few days after annealing them before resizing them? [/QUOTE]
