This was a new blank, not a second, or a reclaim, and it comes from an very good company as well. I had read somewhere that thread could crush a blank, and I can see that if one is using something like a nylon in an A,B, C...etc size. Naples is so light though. the tensile of Naples is only like 1.8lbs.

This blank comes from a quality vendor, and I hope that they will give me some clue as to what happened here. I guess my biggest concern is that if it is something I did, I would love to correct that.
