6BR Pink Nightmare - resizing die problem

October 20, 2013:  An interesting phenomenon occurred yesterday while working on resizing the 200 once fired cases (for the 6BR Pink Nightmare).  I noticed that the die was resizing (and cutting the brass as it pass down the neck).  After contacting Jim Borden, he said send the die to him and he will assess what is going on.  This was with no bushing installed.  A picture is worth a thousand words.  Both are once fired Lapua brass that had been neck turned.  Piece on the left was run through the Harrell resizing die while the one on the right is as fired.  The OD went from 0.271 to 0.268 with NO bushing installed.  Which should not happen.

Hopefully a quick fix so we can get back to reloading.
