Aren’t the case heads stretched/bloted when your primer pockets get loose ? This lot of LC-14 case are the first cases That required a small base die to chamber freely in my bolt guns . To put that in perspective I’m currently using LC-09 , 10 , 12 & 14 in 308 and LC-10,11,12,13,14,16 in 5.56 . The LC-14’s are the only cases that I’ve ever needed a small base die for . They are also the only once fired cases I’ve bought that showed ejector marks on the heads . Sometimes i see light extractor marks but never ejector .
