:?: I'VE GOT A QUESTION FOR ANYBODY WHO CAN HELP ME. YESTERDAY I WENT TO THE LOCAL RANGE TO SIGHT IN MY ENCORE. I'VE GOT SOME HANDLOADS I WAS PUTTING THRU HER AND AS I WAS CHECKING OVER THE BRASS TO SEE IF ANYTHING ODD WAS HAPPENING, I NOTICED A STRANGE RING AROUND THE BASE OF THE BRASS. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE BRASS HAS BEEN RELOADED, FRESH OUT OF THE BAG. I HAVE A FRIEND DOING THE LOADING FOR ME AND I KNOW HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING. HAS ANYBODY ELSE NOTICED THIS STRANGE RING. AFTER GOING BACK AND LOOKING AT SOME OF THE FACTORY AMMO, I NOTICED THEY ALSO HAD THE SAME RING AROUND THE BASE, JUST NOT AS PROMINENT. THE HANDLOADS ARE PRETTY WARM, BUT THE FACTORY STUFF IS DOING THE SAME THING, I JUST DIDN'T NOTICE IT RIGHT AWAY. CAN ANYBODY HELP ME? I PLAN ON GOING WEST PRAIRIE DOGGIN' THIS SPRING AND WOULD LIKE TO FIGURE THIS OUT BEFORE THEN. DO I HAVE A ODD CUT CHAMBER OR WHAT? THANKS FOR WHATEVER YOU GUYS CAN ANSWER. TCTRAV.

You'll get that, Its the area where the web gets thicker. The brass in front of the web will stretch and the brass at the base doesn't and you get a shiny ring. Nothing to wory about. KN

I had a 270 that did that and it was no problem but after about 10 rounds the brass started to get thin there so be carefull not to overuse the cases.
