    I have reloaded over 600 prc cases and have never had that problem.
    I anneal my brass before resizing with bushing dies but dont use a mandel or expander ball, the projectile when seating is the mandrel.
    I also decap primers first with a decaping die.

    It could be possible you are over working the necks if you are using a bushing die and expander ball, just my 2c worth.
