Checked the head stamps of the 4 and they are all .308 brass. No lube build up. It went in and out as easily as the others but just came out with this weird shoulder. Another old sage told me to check the locking ring nut as either the die or the neck sizer could be coming loose. I took out two wrenches and gave it a good squeeze just in case.First question - is it all 308 brass? I know it sounds dumb but range pickup can vary.
Just spitballing but that looks more like a Weatherby shoulder on the left, even on the "correctly" sized ones. So you have lube buildup in your dies? Do your dies have a vent? Any chance you mixed up the sizer and seating die?
Not trying to offend, just throwing ideas out there.
1. With the die backed out, raise the ram to it's highest pointDo you have any recommendation for adjusting the the sizer/deprimer?
Do you think there's any salvaging of them or should just toss them away?Sometimes that happens when the neck lacks enough lube. The sizer grabs the neck and pushes it down into the shoulder instead of sliding over it and compressing the neck wall inward.
