lube inside the case necks...I've switched to imperial for rifle haven't had a stuck case yet.

28ish grains of pull down 335 with a 123 gr. amax... the weird thing is, I have some that wouldn't chamber... looks like the ring is whats keeping the bolt from going into battery... What you're saying gives me some solace though...

Alexander Arms barrel and bolt... less than a thousand rounds through it... I'm betting this brass is telling me that the head is about to seperate... I'm just looking for someone to tell me its not... and so far no one is

Using imperial sizing wax... just a little dab on my fingers every few cases... I seperate these from the hornady after they're complete, same process for both brands of brass...

Thanks Ryan.

Need some help advice on this one. This brass is on its 4th reload, it's PPU. The ring reminds me of a bulge from a glock. The brass is springy when resized at the bottom of the throw. I don't feel a difference on the inside of the case that would be indicative of a case head seperation, but I've had a few pieces of brass that wouldn't chamber, and they had this ring on them. The dies are clean and have fewer than 100 reloads on them, and these marks are not left on my Hornady brass. I can't make this hot because I don't have enough posts, but if someone could I'd greatly appreciate it. i679.photobucket.com/albums/vv151/oaretc/IMG_1309.jpg
