7.62x39 "belted"
I realize there are some pretty coarse tolerances in some of the Commie AK's but this is extreme. I'm just happy that this stuff was fired far away from me. I won an auction for some mixed range brass a while back and am just getting around to processing it now. The sizing die I'm using has a fairly sharp entry point that ends up pushing up a belt just in front of the extractor groove on some of the "most swollen" cases. I have a different brand sizer die but I think the 40-50 worst cases will not get loaded even if I could size them.

Wow sounds like a lot of work swedging cases. What press are you using and what lube?
I once picked up a full box of 8mm Mauser out in the desert. I have no clue what they shot in but full length sizing required me to change the press to pull up on the ram, as 200# pushing down wouldn't work, even with sizing die wax.0 -
Just for experience, I tried a Lyman sizer-it has a little bevel at the bottom. It will size with enough effort but there's still a bump above the extractor groove which is enough to prevent chambering in my Remington 799. 0 -
I had some 9mm brass that gig the same, looked like 9mm belted magnum after sizing [xx(] 0
