well heck this is new....
So I went to full length resize some 30 Remington (not AR) brass today the same way i have other brass in a correct rcbs die. Rubbed it down with Hornady unique case lube and tried to resize the first case. It was HARD to resize. I thought.... weird never had a bottleneck case be THAT hard to resize. Second case was the same. Third case the torque on the press snapped the bench block in half for my lee bench mounting kit..... I mean IN HALF. I have to remount the old RCBS master reloader press on a new block. WHAT THE HECK!? NEVER had that kinda torque resizing ANY brass in my life. I decided to try a piece of the brass in my old lee classic loader (hammer and die kit) and I COULDN'T hammer the brass into the die! This is fairly old Remington Peters brass, but DANG! I am thinking in the back of my limited knowledge reloadin brain that maybe I need to wipe all this brass down and try to anneal it first. Anybody experience this or have a clue what the heck is going on here?
Thanks WAY in advance. Richard
