Dents in shoulder

Post by Radar »

I have just run a batch of once fired 243 cases through the full length resizing die and it looks like I was a bit too happy with the redding wax lube. It appears some excess lube was deposited in the die and has indented the shoulder of the case as it came up.
Attached are some images of what has happened.
Should I throw these cases out or will they be ok?

thanks

They will be fine mate 50+ thousand PSI will sort out those dents in an instant. Shoot them as you would normally!

Give the die a good clean out and use a little less lube next time :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
