Hey everyone, was working on 308 brass today, and my FL sizer die did this to the brass neck. Die is RCBS standard. Cases were lubed.

What the heck???? I have never seen a die do this to brass. The die is clean, in good working order otherwise.

Brass is Fed/Win/Lapua. Does the same to all of them.

What gives?
