A friend from church asked me to load up 22/250 coyote ammo for him, I said no problem. He brought me maybe 175 cases all once fired in his Ruger American. As I was cleaning and starting I found I could hardly get the cases to go into my Redding body die without a huge amount of force and relube it 3 or 4 times for each case to get the first couple threw the die and sized. I never saw this before being that big and over sized from 1 firing. I took his 1 fired cases and tried to chamber them in my Remington and Begara and could not even begin to get them to chamber. Has anyone ever seen this in a Ruger before? it appears the chamber had a very large max sized reamer to be that big for 1 firing. All cases where Hornady factory 50/55 grain vmax ammo.
