[QUOTE="LRSickle, post: 436378, member: 18167"] Sounds like you have a headspace problem, (kinda). Your case should be back firmly against your bolt face so the only way your case will expand is forward to the shoulder of your chamber. I'm sure that's what the Shillen rep is trying to accomplish by seating your bullet out enough that it forces the case back against the boltface upon bolt closing. Another way is to slightly deform your case body so it fits tightly in the chamber and forces the case back against the boltface as you chamber the round. Then just fire and the case will be fireformed back to a cylindrical shape again. [/QUOTE]
