    While inspecting and sizing 2x fired Black Hills Match 300 WM Brass tonight, I discovered one case in the lot of brass to be sized, that had what appears to be a perfect circle just below the shoulder.

    It was shot in a Bighorn SR3, unknown weather conditions since I didn't see it till now. Would a speck of water cause this, or is it more likely a manufacturing defect that wasn't discovered till now. You can feel it with your fingernail. Thoughts?

    I only found one case in the lot of ~75 that I was processing that had this. I'll look at the remainder of loaded cases at the range tomorrow to see if any of them are similar.
