Sounds to me..and don't take it to the bank.. 30 cal die..possibly a 32 cal neck sizing button. Or undersize neck and regular 30 sizing button on the decapping rod. Saw that happen once..or twice. Case goes in....Hard.....then not wanna come out.. Hey Dan..a friend had a whole lotta 7.62 brass that had been shot in a GE gun..even with small base dies. it would size down..then slowly spring back to too large for most anything.. Wouldn't chamber in an M1A anyway..

BTW...Unique case lube IS pure lanolin. Good stuff too. I had 3 or 4 little tubs of it. Momma said she needed something to put on her feet. Gave her one of the little tubs..darn woman confiscated all my lube.. Told her not to use my Imperial. Said it was poisonous so she leaves it alone LOL Wonder if she ever thought about how I get it on a case?? Ummm duh!!

the sizing.

Hey GOB..Another thought..could those rounds have been loaded as 32 Rems last time. Same case..different neck..LOL

Dan A fellow called me today from Delaware. He bought a Win 64 Featherweight in 243..having trouble chambering 243 reloads.. Told him to use his brothers SB 308 die with the de-capping rod out..Worked just fine.. Just got off the phone with me.. He is now a happy camper and..becoming a true reloader..with all the troubles that brings..

Been feelin too bad to get back to the bench this week. Nope them weren't never 32's. My 30 caliber hand deprimer from my lee classic loader ALMOST won't go into the neck of them. Fits a 30-30 just peachy keen. Dunno Good Lord willin' maybe I can get back to the bench soon.

If old memory serves me right, the Old Rem #8 was used by LEO for decades and in 30-32 and 35 Rem. Seems like I saw some shot in a well worn old prison guard gun that split necks with just about every shot. Could be it was shot in a well worn chamber or a rusted up, refinished chamber.
