I came across something today I have never come across before.
I ran across some once fired 8MM Mauser Sellor and Bellot brass and when I went to size them I noticed about every third one was either very, very hard going in the shell holder or wouldn't go in at all.
The shell holder (RCBS #3) is the correct one for the 8MM and I've not seen any fit problems with R-P brass nor have I ever experienced such a problem with 30.06s, 6.5 X 55, etc.
I can't tell if it's a diameter problem or if the case 'rim' is too thick.
Has anyone have an idea of the reason for the problem?
I'm thinking it has something to do with S-B brass but I'm not sure, to tell the truth.
