Sorry, I didn't know you were going to have this problem or I would have told you.

Oh, I know you would have, and your input is excellent, because after all the main purpose of this forum is to educate and you did that well.
You would think that a guy who had reloaded since 1973 and had been shooting since he was 10 (if you don't count bb guns), would know stuff like this. I guess most of us have gaps in our knowledge that we don't realize. At least I learn from my mistakes. Honestly, I have read volumns on reloading and until this happened and I mentioned it on this forum, I had never seen anything in the manuals about not using reloads from one gun in another when neck sizing only. I have switched reloaded ammo around in my AR10's all the time with no issues, but I use small base dies and resize the whole case for them.
That was a wake up call for me in terms of gun safety as well and at least I had enough sense to not have any body parts over either end of the gun.
