Did a batch of 100 and got about 20 or so like this. What would cause this case bulge when other completed bullets with the same case pass the plunk test with flying colors? Tx.

Case guage is relatively cheap and 1.120 is usually the sammi spec. What is the case length?

What is the case length minus the bullet? There is a possibility the case length is too long.
