Hello everyone. I have a question about some 5.56 cases I have been collecting lately. I pick it up at the local shooting area and I usually decap it then clean. Some of this brass is a very tight fit in my shell holder if it fits at all. I would guess I'm throwing away around 25%. I don't know if my shell holder is a little tight or If the brass is actually flawed. Some of these cases are obviously out of round at the base because I can rotate them to fit sometimes.
This is kind of frustrating because of the time wasted both collecting and it makes my case kicker useless. Also I don't think the brass was previously loaded because the crimp is still in.
Any thoughts about this? Thanks.
