Gunslinger,



I have shot the yellow/white box WCC732 ammo at 100 degrees, leaving box of ammo in direct sunlight on shooting bench without unusual velocity or apparent pressure signs.  Dont know about new green box.  



Are you seeing a difference in length of case after forming?

Didn't really notice lengths because after sizing they went straight to the WFT for trimming.

Today I went and shot 30 more rounds of the same suspect lot.







Of the 30, 17 had more pronounced ejector swipes. All the cases had cratered primers, most had dented case mouths from what I assume increased ejection speed and hitting the case deflector harder. They also have a ring around the base.
















Forgive the bad pics, using my phone.






Of the 30 rounds, I grabbed 5 cases at random and measured.







1.748


1.753


1.753


1.750


1.749







Then I sized them, or tried too. I got 3 done before the 4th got stuck in my die. I think I used too much lube as I lubed them individually







After sizing I measured.









1.758


1.762


1.762







Those are in the same order BTW.







I emailed Arms Unlimited asking if anyone has had any pressure signs as well but they had not and instead referred me to the manufacturer for any further inquiries.
