I think they put that "new, improved 1/4"" thing on there to confuse us.
It appears it may have worked, too.
Thanks, after I finish my cup of coffee, I'll set it deeper. I know it doesn't matter if it is exactly straight for function but for peace at mind, it makes all of the difference in the world. Natchez is where I got my other sets. I believe they were $4.95 there but I can't remember if the package read the same ?

It could be a fluke. Some guys anneal after every reloading-firing cycle.
Some brass work hardens more/faster than others. I have a batch of 25-06 Rem brass I have to re-anneal after two firings otherwise I'll almost rip the press off the bench pulling the expander through the necks.
One way to tell if its time is the pliers test. Gently squeeze the neck with a pliers until it just starts to deform then release the pliers. If it springs back its time to toast it. If it stays load it.
When annealing you also want to include the shoulder especially if you're bump'm them. They work harden too. It can mean the difference between a consistent bump in one pass or two or three to override the spring back.

Each morning eat a live green toad, it will be the worst thing you'll have face all day.
I would have never guessed that it was added purely for entertainment purposes....... Brilliant marketing scheme. I glued the ball with elmers wood glue.I am wishing now that I had a shelf collection of glue to choose from. What a great topic that would have been in the help me decided section...
signed still sleepless in the Hamlet of Wheeler, NY.
I have seen the black marks in question before except in a reverse. A friend on mine had a m700 tactical in .308 and I was shooting a model 10 McMillan. The brass was pretty clean out of the Savage and very black neck on the Rem. I should state that both rifles were basically new and we were shooting Fggm ammo.
We started doing oal testing for reloads and the Rem chamber could take loads almost .200" longer so I wrote off the black as just a long throated chamber. You could not load for this rifle into the lands and still use the blind mag, the McMillan shoots lights out at 2.800"
I'll bet Deano never sees any black soot marks on the necks of his brass.
Stretch marks, yes.
But no black marks...
Storm off the coast of Fla. this morning forecasted to strengthen and cause lots of rain. It's been raining here so much I need to use a rowboat to get out to my mailbox.
Think I'll go back to bed.

Remember Bill...
The best thing about grandkids is they go home after a while.
Play your cards right and get them all sugared up before you send them home. It's a great way to get even with the kids...
And to answer your question, NO.
I have a granddaughter here 3 to 5 days a week for additional education. Trying to fill in the blanks from what schools are conveniently leaving out.
Have fun and play nice.
'Scuse me while I whip this out...!
Yeah, its best to stick with topics at hand.
Like sooty case necks, annealing, what glue to use on wooden balls, hassling Deano...

Frank I won't comment but hopefully this will work.

Again, no comment.
You guys are trying to get me in trouble. It doesn't take much these days to get me going off on a political rant.
Just ask my wife.
'Scuse me while I whip this out...!
I just wouldn't feel complete unless I take a shot at Deano and his reloading technique. He calls me a wimp for my light loads so I have to get 'em in when the opportunity presents itself.
'Scuse me while I whip this out...!
Don't feel bad,my load data is light years behind Dean's ....
The ball is glued onto the cutter but I have no brass to trim.
Dean, I would trade you the extra cutter in the new 1/4" shank package for a piece of stretched brass but think it would wear my cutter out trimming it back to length in which I would need the cutter with the new 1/4" shank that I traded you. I can't win !
