I have never used nickel plated brass before and went to load some 10mm yesterday with new Starline cases and 200gr XTP's. I always load a dummy round when changing components to check for OAL, crimp, and function in my weapon. I went to pull the bullet after checking everything and it wouldn't come out. It finally separated the lead core from the jacket and the jacket is still stuck in the case. I have never had this happen before and am wondering if the nickel brass has more neck tension perhaps? OAL is 1.260 and my crimp is .423 which is exactly the same as my regular brass rounds.
Anyone else ever have this happen? I don't want to load and fire any rounds that are stuck in the case that tight unless I know for sure it's not a problem.
