I had this exact problem on my 650 with .38's. It disappeared when I tightened up the shell plate. The casing was misaligning at the powder/belling station. It wasnt exactly loose but there was some up and down play and it only damaged cases randomly. Doc Nelson

I agree with all the above, well run world championship match. Having said that, my previous experiences at EOT in New Mexico were more balanced in the stages and rotations. Here there was, in my opinion, one rotation of difficult (relatively) orders at medium to long distances with some smaller targets thrown in. One rotation of really small or long distance targets-8 to 10 yards for pistol- and one rotation of close and simple. 2 of the rotations favored 2-hand shooters being more distant in target placement, I thought Duelists and Gunfighters were an after thought but left or right handed shooters were well taken care of. No flyers or moving targets. Shooting wise this year ranks a distant 3rd of my 3 EOT experiences. It needs a to be a test of skill as this one was, but I would prefer a balanced daily rotation rather than each rotation being a repeat of the same type of stage. Just my view. Doc Nelson
