    So, thank you @BRADS, @ebf, @7mmsaum and all of you guys who reply to my question.
    No, the vertical marks in the neck is not bothering me at all, it happen just/only this time during e "neck sizing" process, what I am more concerned is about the "ring" mark going around the neck and shoulder area, that sounds very "odd" to me.
    No, I haven't changed my reloading routine at all, regards all the feed backs you guys gave me, I just fired the last 8 rounds from the same reload batch so I will clean it up and do the thing and check if any difference/alteration in these brass.

    Thank you a lot once again, I will keep you guys posted about this experience(incident).

    Your die needs to be pulled to bits & the brass that is stuck on it needs to be carefully removed by polishing with autosol etc.

    You need to lube the brass more when sizing it.,

    It is possible it is a little soft after annealing making the brass easier to pick up onto the die.

    If you can see up into or down into the die you will see brass stuck to it in the neck area.

    Until it is removed it will continue to mark the neck which is undesirable

    Just arrived to the thread.

    You have just annealed your brass, neck brass is soft now and has picked up in the die and will mark all soft brass.
    Clean/soak die with copper solvent, this will destroy the brass then clean and polish the inside of the die, this should be able to be done with no measuarable difference to the die dimensions.

    lube necks and size away

    Is this a new gun? hmm Id put a bore scope down the chamber and have a look around that neck area, maybe its been badly machined?

    bend a paper clip and run it past that area on the inside of the case but I dont expect anything.

    What gun?

    PS the brass now its been annealed is softer so will form in the chamber better, hence Im wondering on the state of your chamber.

    Question is: is it a sign of fatigue?
    This brass has been reloaded for 7X and mostly neck sized (only 2X full sized) and i have annealing for 2X now(the second time just now).

    Thank you in advance.

    P.S.: the vertical marks are from the resizing die, the main thing isa the "ring" in between shoulder and neck.

    Marks are from sizing not firing.
