SDHNTR, index the brass, that is try and put it back in the same way it came out.....
Had a barrel chambered for a # 1 that caused me grief, when resizing the die would shave brass off the case. Further inspection revealed that the fired brass was noticeably
'bulged' on/to one side, when observed from the base, the case wall protruded out wider than the rim!?!?!? ......... don't know what happened, maybe the reamer 'got away'.......... IDK, I'm not a 'smith'.....
Guy made it right, to the tune of another Lilja barrel.........
Brass would go back in the way it came out, but not if you rotated it 180 degrees.....
It's back at the smith again being worked over. Nothing was noticeably out of round.
