[QUOTE="308win, post: 2833447, member: 102230"] I had the exact same thing happen with Alpha brass forming into 7-08AI. Alpha's response was that their brass was not to be used in fireforming AI. Out of 100 pieces I had this happen 4 times with the initial fireforming process and 1 with it being once fired. I am now on my 6th reloading with this brass with no issues and still have tight primer pockets. I think Alpha is premium brass and very hard near the case head which is why it happened in the forming process? I really can't say, .maybe this is just part if the process when doing AI with premium brass? I have done other AI's (223 and 280) and did not experience this. The 223 was virgin Lapua and the 280 was once fired Hornady. [/QUOTE]
