    the answer is staring us in face..just need to figgure it out then solve it so no more expensive brass goes in bin.
    Firing is when its cracking. They didnt look like this when i sized them & loaded last batch. Didnt notice any accuracy issues or anything weird, took all the brass ultrasonic cleaned & tumbled it preparing to reload it for the 3rd time and upon inspection found the damaged ones. Didnt pick up on it at the time of firing, only once cleaned & prepping to reload them.
