Greg, i do check those things, not all of them but i random pick a few out of every batch i make. And i sort my brass in batches per times loaded.
So all my bras should have had the same service life throughout the batch.
That being said , once i had it the first time, the same failure also occurs with factory ammo. I'm not sure if the reload is the cause of it, it's just that i usually shoot reloads...
The factory rounds i would think those are in fact correctly sized, so it's not clear at this time, if the issue could happen if i just shoot a box of factory ammo..
I'll also give that a try next time, got me a 1000 rd box of mag tech on the way anyway for my strategic reserve
