wheelie Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Super HAND. Red and very stingy. Grips cracked but no splinters -- fortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kineteks Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 If I understand correctly these are rounds, once-fired & range pick-up, that you've loaded but not fired so the chamber in your gun isn't a factor (at this point anyway). If the range pick-up brass has a number of reloads on it, was shot out of a poorly supported/over sized chamber barrel or was just loaded REALLY hot.... that may be the source of the more significantly bulged brass. If it's bulged down by the extractor groove nothing but a Case-Pro will straighten that out (in my experience). A quick way to weed them out is to set your digital calipers at ~ .386" or what ever will fit in your case-gauge/chamber and check the cases down by the groove where the die stops. If they won't slide in the calipers toss 'em... that should be fairly quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Rollsize the brass and then resize and inspect. Most likely they are toast. Some brass does have a lifespan. Don't be afraid to recycle them instead of fighting with them.... DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayougump Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 I put the EGW Lee sizing die and the Lee FCD on my 650 and that has fixed the issue it looks like. Loaded about 30 or so last night and all case gauged perfectly. No rings or cases looking bad upon inspection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
