Intercooler sent these because:
Three were deep seated 1.1250” – 1.1595” – 1.1885” PPU cases (Loose bullet fit could not be corrected with pass-thru and regular sizing not even extra crimping) The PPU brass continued to spring back after sizing, setbacks could be a serious issue.
I had done a quick and dirty annealing of the PPU Brass as a test to test the process to have the cases retain resized measures.
Two that had black on the bullets was a residue that cleaned off, possible polishing compound and media that stuck there.
