I was loading some CBC .357 mag brass,or rather trying to load it, and the decap pin would push the base off the old primer and leave the sides in the case. I have never had any brass do this other than the rare occurrence with military crimped rifle brass.Any one else run across this in any other brand?

I have had that issue with older corroded brass. I have so many .38 cases I just throw the out if that happens. Not worth my time. But that only happens like 1-2 per 100 cases.
