    +1 for definitely running a brush down the neck before re-sizing. How many firings has brass been through ? have you annealed the brass ? After 2 or three firings the brass will harden & neck tension will get variable.
    Did you by any chance weigh the powder aft you pulled the pills ? Worth doing for a few just to confirm you did not some how end up with variation in powder loaded.

    Yeah will definitely brush the neck now, cheers. Two firings, brass not annealed. Powder weights were accurate.
