So I have been loading for about 20years and never ran into this problem was wondering if anyone else has or has some logical input. Or I just messed up today lol.
I bought some 1x Fired (Bolt Gun Supposedly) Hornady HS 6.5CM LRP brass from another forum.
The Process:
1. Universal Recap Mighty Armory small pin.
2. FL Resize with Hornady FL Bushing Die (.290) Bushing all the way until the die stopped on m Foster Co-Ax and would not go no further down. Do a few grab my 6.5cm chamber like glass nice and smooth no problems bolt drops like hot knife thru butter as normal.
3. Trim Wilson Micro Case trimmer. 1.910
4. Clean Flash Hole
5. Chamfer
6. Debur
7. Wet Tumbler 1hr
8. Food Dryer 1hr
I stopped at 8 the rest is mute point.
I grabbed after point 8 a projectile and just tried to set it on top and it went into the case neck with no issues almost 1/8 inch. I thought hmmm weird so I tried a few more same issues. Went into my bench grab my 6.5CM Lapua Brass which I have been using for 2yrs and loading exclusively in my RPR, Tikka T3, Buddies Barbara, and a Savage didn't have any issues and I didn't move the die or change anything went thru 100rnds of Lapaua brass not a singe one had this issue bullet stopped at the boatail. I load my Lapua Brass the same exact way as above same equipment just adjust seating depth for different projectiles (ELDX, Match Burners, Sierras, Lapua, Berger). I have only also load exclusively Lapua 6.5CM SRP brass in any 6.5.
So I was like hmm I ran all the hornady brass then thru my annealeez annealer and out of 350 pieces I still had about 20 that would not resize at the neck. I have never had this problem with my Lapua Brass so I'm not sure if its the obvious changes in quality or what. Prior to running it thru the annealer and noticing this issue I already fully prepped 150pieces of brass that were ready to load. Out of this 150 only 110 the bullet sat on the top the rest it went into the neck. I then annealed the 40 with all the remaining brass about 200pieces and had about 10percent the 20 above still not make it.
I even turned the necks (K&M Neck Turning Setup) on about 5 of the about 20 rejects of the hornady brass after they were annealed and tried and they still would not hold the bullet correctly after I resized them again. I used an expander mandrel to push everything to the outside first, turned the neck and then resized same as the rest above.
1st Image is the case where it goes all the way in. Once it stops though at that point a super hard push and it would not move further FYSA.
2nd Image is the case when the bullets sits and stops just above the base PERFECTION.
3. Image shows the same bullet top line is the case that it goes into Image 1 stop point and lower line is image 2 stop point.
