Doh! I collapsed the shoulder with my Lee collet neck sizing die, now I can’t stand to look at the reloading tray. These are from the same box of Peterson brass that I shot and reloaded twice. I’m thinking of pitching the whole lot! Burns my ass!

Now isn't that a bitch. I'd sell the sonabitch to me and be done with a Lee...
I think that'll polish out

Hmm...that's a bummer.
Now was this the only sacrifice of brass in the load block?
If so it could be difference in brass hardness between neck and shoulder.
I’ve used the die for a while now and have done it before on range pickup brass. Problem is the petals on the collet stick together every now and then. Common problem with the dies. It is easy to prevent and fix, I was just lax with maintenance. I should have checked the petals before running it. Also, I could feel the tension when I was pushing the case into the die, but my dumb self said “wow that’s a tight primer.”Quote:

I truly don't understand throwing a bunch of cases away because one is fubar. Am I missing something important?
Because I’m OC it bugs me looking at 49 not 50. I’m really not going to pitch them.Quote:
