It did what it was supposed to do. Needless to say, the case didn't make it.

...
Is that the Lee unbreakable?
It is suppose to be able to slide in the collet  if it meets à solid object, like a rock or Berdan case.
If the collet screw is too tight it cannot slide up to save itself.

I had the same thing happen to me. Doctors say it's congenital.

No, it was an accident.  :rofl:

The collet was on very tight. I believe it was factory tight. I don't remember ever removing it.

There was a congealed mass of Dacron at the bottom of the case. Question, under what grain would you start adding filler in a 54r case? 20, 25, 30... As you know, I'm thinking of trying RL7 again.

I tried straightening in my vise but didn't live through the procedure. I didn't think to try it with Robitussin.   ;)
