I tried to figure out why, but was stumped. All the brass gauged good before I shipped it.
After some stressing and fretting, I figured it out.
If you have the expander ball adjusted too high it can end up in the neck portion of the die. Now you have the die trying to squish the neck down and the ball trying to expand it out. The poor case gets stuck in the middle.
Just a public service announcement...

I ran into this very issue last week, pulled the neck right off, oh well into the scrap bucket so I an use it when I try some brass casting
Are you back home& still making chips Hoser? current prices?
Edit to add, you mentioned you had to sort out a bunch of Military blanks, is that brass useable if you were to use a trim die& saw, or is the brass substandard otherwise?
