I just bought some 1x fired (supposedly) 300wm brass. I FL sized it, trimmed it, cleaned the primer pockets and started seating primers in the case and i noticed that they are all coming out quite "high". I looked further and noticed the cases sit very loosely in the shellholders. I have 2. both Lee, 1 came with die set and 1 is from my shell holder kit. Both are the same sloppiness. Its like the rim gap is extended? Is this brass worn out? Im using a RCBS hand priming tool and i noticed that when the little ram is all the way up, squeezed, (very much protruding as to push the primer up) I can remove the case!!! Guy said the brass was 1x fired but all the cases had silver primers in WW cases. Is this normal? Ive reloaded hundreds of other rounds and never seen this problem. Could this also be caused from brass being fired in a very loose (headspace) chamber?
