Careful, chicken-hearted, and wise reloaders trash all the cases in a batch at the first sign of stuff like you experienced. When you load hot, you can't expect to get long case life.

Start with new brass, and size it just enough to chamber easily in the new barrel. Look up partial sizing if you're not familiar with that.



Yup, tossed that brass. Have a few bags of new stuff on hand.


We deal in lead, friend.
