That's what I was thinking. Something in the punching/drilling process is messed up and that's the result....the belief it was simply a manufacturing defect, perhaps with machinery needing calibration.
That, and make sure you get the case all the way into the shell holder. Not thats likely the issue above.Safe yes, check your decapping pin on the sizer to see if it is off center.
Also verifying the shell holder is clean matters. I have had to clean my 38/357 shell holder several times.If your decapping pin is off-center or bent, then something is likely amiss on your end and it wont get better until you straighten the pin, or maybe even the rod out.
One other thing to check here, is if the shell holder itself is fully in the ram. I use an old RCBS Rock Chucker, and from time to time, I have to clean out the shell holder slot or it wont fully seat. Sometimes canned air works, other times, I have to reach in with a small screwdriver and give it a scrape.
You may not notice depending on your ability. If your in any type of sport toss it and move on.Good advice, everyone. Thanks!
I have a lot of 9mm brass, so no big concern if I have to toss these few cases, but for curiosity's sake wondering if it is safe to use with the enlarged flash hole.
