Thanks for your input, guys.

The plot is beginning to un-thicken.

I'm using an RCBS single stage press with a standard FL sizing die. I might be able to apply enough force to get the cases sized all the way down, but I don't want to take a chance on getting one seriously stuck and have a big hassle getting it out.

It's possible that the batch of cases came from a military facility, and that some of them were fired from a SAW or other fully automatic weapon. I'm not familiar with what such guns can do to cases, but it seems plausible that it might be the source of the problem.

Anyway, most of the cases are ok, and I think I'll just toss the problem ones.
