It is possible that the case did not get resized however you would have felt that the projectile seated will little pressure. If the rest were fine and the case wasn't split then this may have been the cause.

Scj429 ; good point, but no the case did have a split in the neck ,and neck tension would of been compromises, so the plane is to aneal more often between reloads maybe 3&4th loads .... :)
