Because Jepp2 and a few others figured it out, pockets needed uniforming. I went out and bought a set of uniforming tools made by Lyman, pushed out all the new primers and started working on them. Really amazed at how much some of them needed cut out. Seemed to be cutting the corners the most kinda like they have rounded corners instead of square edge. After I got them all cut I put the primers back in and checked every one, right to the exact size needed so that was clearly the problem. I also made sure to check the "stop" bolt on my APS press. Thanks for all the help and suggestions to get me squared away.A bunch of questions asked in effort to help you and you only answered two.
Yes it was range brass, what I mean by "picked up by me" is I watched the guy open the new boxes, load his mags, fire it all off like a nut and I picked it all up after he left. If I didn't know it was new ammo to start with I would not save it for reloads. Since I bought the uniforming tools I have been checking ALL my brass both large and small primers and I'm surprised that everything I have has some that need cutting. So far the Remington (both 223 and 308) have been the best. I do not own any expensive brass yet, mostly all Federal, Winchester, Remington."....picked up by me."
Don't know how that figures into any question at all. If they were fired by you in your rifle now it matters.
So I guess the answer to South Prairie jim's question "Range Brass?" is YES
