Is it me or the brass.
As of late I have notice that Blazer (about 80%) and FC (about 50%) brass will keep way to little neck tension. I put all of my reloaded ammo in 50 or 100 round boxes nose down. I check the primers and push down on each round for set-backs. Blazer and FC fail that finger-pressure test by the percenages listed aboove. With WW, R-R and all the other common brass I have never had a problem with neck tension.
I have randomly measured the bullets I'm using and none are below diameter, and the case mouths after sizing measure fine as well.
I thought it may be a die problem, but I switched out a Hornady die I was using with a Lee, then again with an RCBS. Same results. I tried all three of those dies screwed right down to the top of the shell plate.
Any idea. I'm loading on a Lock-n-Load AP
