Sixer There could be many reasons for this happening, the first that comes to mind is that the case was neck sized only and not full legnth sized. Or it may not have been trimed correctly after first use or it could have been a 5.56 case used with a 223 barrel. It is cheaper to purchase new brass than a new AR. Throw out what is left or use it up in a bolt action rifle.
