[QUOTE="C-130 Dude, post: 2729433, member: 122991"] Is this the first time you tried to reload this brass since you obtained it? Others have mentioned that most of this type brass is probably from machine guns. That MG brass will swell differently (sometimes radically) from what a bolt gun will do. I have found that it works well to use the full length small base resizer from RCBS (or others) to return this type brass back to normal. Then try shooting them from your bolt gun. Allow 4-5 seconds for each shell to swell after firing to allow it to assimilate to your gun. As always, anneal before sizing and trim length as required. I have been shooting LC (and other makes) brass for over 35 years, well over 9500 rounds fired and find this process works well with a minimum of issues. No matter what you do, you will find there are a few bad cases out there causing headaches-that's just the way of things. This will happen to any make case. Expect it. Stay safe and have fun.
