Toss.
Never heard of a "too tight barrel." Tight match chamber? Sure. Barrel? No.
I'd pull them and either resize the projectiles or toss them, or load them in .357 cases.
This is part of the process (with a new compound added omitted) we tested back in '93 when the rumor mill was going full tilt about how the goobermint was pushing legislation to require primer manufacturers to make them with a "shelf life" of something like 90 - 180 days. You couldn't find a...
If it was a sealant, I'd expect to see it around the primer as well. There was a period of time in the early to mid 90's (Ruby Ridge, Waco, etc.) where folks were putting up loaded ammunition and sealing the case mouths and primer pockets for long term storage. When taggants in powder and...

I'm thinking of trying aluminum oxide as an additive, similar to how a...
Correct. I do not have a secret supplier of components heppin' a brutha out on the ODT. These were all purchased after the Pulse nightclub shooting where the cops' bullets hit most of the victims.
