[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 1987918, member: 66917"] How many times have you fired and resized the brass without annealing? Most necks will start getting stuff after about 3-4 firings without annealing. The brass simply looses it's spring. You'll notice it on seating, the bullets will seam to go in really easy. The necks get stiff. One thing to be aware of is if you resize necks more than about .005 at a pass you can over work them and affect run out. You can get around this by using a bushing die and making 2 passes with successively smaller bushings. You can do this even if you are using an expander mandrel final step you just need a 3rd pass with the mandrel. On a different note with that bullet are you using a long range bullet seating stem? You can get weird bullet bottom out with LR bullets in a standard stem. Some seaters come with what's usually called a VLD stem. I guess Berger bullets drove this initially so VLD stuck, not sure.
