Subject: Hornady Cases after the fact...

I wonder if the brass is undersize in length from rim to shoulder. Could be that there is too much case stretch on first firing. If you have a case gage, you could compare the unfired and fired cases and see how much they are streatching. I suspect if you drop an unfired cartridge into the gage, it will bottom on the case rim and not really tell you much.

I’ve not tried Hornady brass in .303 or .308, but have used it in .30-06 full length sizing for reloading for the M1 rifle. Not had any issues.
