    Take/send it back if it’s new,that’s piss poor although full length size would sort it out.

    I’d say that’s been through 10 freight company’s throwing the bag around before it hit the shelf, can’t blame the manufacturer for a dent in the case mouth

    I’m presuming you know to FL resize new brass anyway so that you get the neck tension/Concentricity that your own dies put on it

But farkkkkk @7mmsaum i usually use norma i shamfer deber and go never failed me usually when im getting new brass im doing load d and have a 1000mtr cartridge " 7rm 7bm 6.5saum" worked up inside of 20 rounds no sizing . This is more of a woaw than a complaint
