[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3225436, member: 5412"] I can't say I've ever seen a ring like that on the shoulder of any bottleneck cartridge I've loaded since the 80's. It could be from a universal deprimer die set too low, or possibly a seating die that is hitting the shoulder before completely seating the bullet. I don't have any definite experience with that issue so without trying to duplicate it, that opinion is just speculation. I have seen some brass in our scrap brass containers at the range that have been separated in that area though. I'd be leery of shooting it. If you do want to try it, I'd anneal it first, and wouldn't load more than a few for testing. How many rounds did you buy? Mixed brand range pickup stuff in .223 or is it military surplus machine gun in 5.56? [/QUOTE]
