Thread: Resizing brass vertical marks on neck

Hi all,

I had cleaned all the cases and were also new, but i did ensure they were clean. After i noticed it i did pull the die to bits and its a very nice finish on the inside, no markings or anything.

Being so consistent around the neck it could be the edge between the shoulder and neck being rough?

Im trying to avoid buying new dies due to cost but if thats what it takes ill go down that road,

That's what I am thinking.

Could you wrap a bit of rag around something and put in a drill with some autosol or similar on it to polish that corner in the die ?

Yea ill get a piece of dowel/ cut the handle shorter on mrs wooden spoon and a rag with autosol on it in the drill and try polish on that corner. Is possibly a minute build up/and or a burr right on that edge. Being so minute i dont see it taking much. THe pictured case was one of the worst, some of them is hardly noticable, hence me asking if this was normal in some examples
