Last year a few of you helped me with reduced loads and I hope you can assist on a sizing issue. I am using 25gr load of IMR 4759 in my 03A3 with excellent accuracy. Starting with once fired LC68 brass sized to 2.036" on my Hornady gage the fired reduced load cases measure 2.030". I realize that reduced loads don't normally stretch a case much and that the case is probably stretched to fill the chamber and would size back fine. That isn't what happened. I set my sizer die and sized a couple once fired cases to 2.036" just fine but the reduced load cases sized down to 2.022"?
I have no idea of what the science is here or whether or not the cases can be salvaged as they are now too short to risk fire forming I think.
Any suggestions on how to save the cases?

Thanks in advance,
Don
