Tim.....let see..on this brass. When new..I loaded them to fireform to the AI chamber....then loaded twice after that...total of three loadings. Sorry..I orginally said two firings....

I have been wondering about the die......but I want to get a die that has the same chamber dimension as my rifle. Going to go through Hornady and have a custom die made...inwhich I was told they make them. I was going to switch brands of cases next. See what will happen. This has me and a couple of experienced loading buddies scratching our heads...
One buddy said he had simliar problems with Win. brass on his 243AI. Then he started necking down .308 brass and turning the necks.Problem never came back..I do not want to go throught all that...

Thanks again for the replies...
