Since then I have purchaced Hornady 243 Win and 7-08 brass to load with, run it through full length resizing die and trim to length. I suppose I could neck size and trim to length, (bolt gun), but I full length and trim just to have consistancy.

I would call customer service or the retailer where you purchased the brass and exchange it. Last edited by AU338MAG; 04/05/18 09:02 AM. Dying ain't much of a living boy...Josey Wales Molon Labe
