Well gutys I just found out that this was not M-60 Brass. It was GE Mini gun ammo.. I try to check my brass as y'all do..but I didn't get this brass originally. A friend just sent me a hundred or so after he and the other guy acquired it..After loading is when they had the problems. I have tried sizing the brass myself and in small base dies and everything goes well but..almost none measures less than .487...a couple measured average size after sizing..but 2 out of 50 so far is not right. As far as loading..I've never had any problems with any brass before..but all mine came from MOSTLY bolt guns and a few semi autos..except for the 223. I have seen some of the brass fired in the newer SAW guns like the 242..most was for me unusable. All of my 50 cal brass was however fired in an M-2..and i have no problem with that either...and the chamber on my Barrett is kinda tight..but it was set up for sniping. Speaking of the 50...I had a local fellow who just gave me 21 rounds of 50 Ammo. All Loaded by Winchester. As far as pulling all those bullets..Not my job..But I do have a hundred or so 45 autos that I have to pull. They are 2 tenths over max..I really don't know how I did it either.. it was a new can of powder too...HP-38. It took me all of 10 minutes to load 'em..probably an hour to break 'em down. LOL
