Just curious.
Yesterday I had a piece get caught sideways in the neck of a .223.
Couple of weeks ago I had a piece get caught sideways in a small pistol primer pockets.
Today I was picking up 3 pieces that got away from me when I was separating media from brass. 1 piece was noticeably shorter than the other 2.
But when I started wet tumbling, the only media I could find was 3 lbs. I tumbled with that until a back order came in. I added another 1.5 lbs to the tumbler. So maybe it was manufactured shorter but I think I would have noticed by now.
I’ve only had the tumbler about 12 weeks, but I run it approximately 15-20 hours a week.
Edit: I just separated some brass and looked at the media real close. The vast majority is the same length. I couldn’t see one piece that was shorter.
