Has anyone noticed this with Lapua SR Creedmoor brass?

Yes you are correct on both parts. Just wanted some input from others, since I've never noticed this before. Thank you sir.
You could about answer your own question by not tumbling 5 cases, and see if it's the tumbling causing issues.
 
Fired case 296
loaded 292
diff. 004
There is no way brass is going to "shrink" back 004
just because it wants to. If the math is correct .
If I'm wrong I'll stand corrected,I've always worked with bigger stuff,.001 makes a difference sometime,you have done this longer than myself,,Capt. Dan
 
I have determined, with the help of ALL of you, that they are being peened by the SS pins. It's very hard to notice with a magnifying glass even. I did use a inside VLD chamfer tool and was able to confirm that the pin damage would go away with a few turns. Therefor the complete length of the inside neck was not effected as I had previously thought. And since I have annealed and resized there are no signs of the cases being pinned. Thanks to everyone's inputs my problem is solved. Many thanks guys.
