[QUOTE="rockchalk06, post: 4008038, member: 40794"] Two things come to mind for me. One is neck tension. Hornady brass is about .001" thicker than most of the match brass I have used in 6.5 Creed (assuming that's what you are loading for). Too much, and it will crush the necks. I've experienced this when testing out the different bushings that came with my Forster bushing bump die. Most hand loaders like .003" neck tension, I prefer .002" in a bolt gun. Even with .005", I've never crushed a neck, so I would suggest measuring the outside neck diameter of a sized case. My Lapua ran over a 6.5 mandrel is .290" which gives me exactly .002" Are you chamfering the inside of the neck or chamfering enough? Even though that bullet has a boat tail, it will crush a neck at times if no or not enough chamfering is done. No chamfer virgin brass: [ATTACH type="full"]364896[/ATTACH] Just the right about in my opinion: [ATTACH type="full"]364897[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
