It's kind of hard for me to tell I'll check some more.

Yes the ring appears to be higher up. But maybe that is as far down as the die will go and causing the ring?

May have found problem? This is a view into bottom of die. Seems to show rings inside of there. Surely it should be smoother than that? If that's the problem I will order a new die can't be good on the brass.

I adjusted the die to measure the same as the new unfired rounds for starters using Hornady comparator set.

This case shows at least 3 rings and some more spiraling around the case when magnified? Also it's a Winchester case.

I see what you're saying. the die may be coming to a stop. I'm using a Forster coax and pulling the handle back up may be causing shell plates to leave the ring where they close around the case. My eye sight is not very good but I will investigate the best I can.

Mostly it's the Win. brass that gets the worst ring through my die. All 40 pieces of Remington brass look plenty good enough to load again.

Three more top one is new case.

would the down spot be where the ring is?

Also all the cases fired in the Remington have been resized so it's too late to Mike them.

I've only got calipers. It won't take me long to fire a few more rounds and then resize them and check for ring. I'm still going to cut one open though.

I guess the rest of the box of factory ammo should, tell me if it's the die or not. I'll try that and see how it looks after re Sizing.

Yes I used the paper clip technique as I mentioned

I'm thinking about just ordering a new FLS Die. I've been wondering, is it possible to polish the inside of the die?

Your talking about the chamber in which the cases were fired in previously( the Remington) correct?
