[QUOTE="cfvickers, post: 596204, member: 25488"] Are you neck sizing or FL sizing? My 111 LRH in 6.5-284 is tight enough that it does not allow for me to neck size. When I do I get a very stiff bolt lift with every round. But not stuck. If you are neck sizing, I would try a FL size. That is not a particularly stiff load. I use 76.5 grains behind a 190 hornady with no pressure signs what so ever in my 700. Given the increased bearing surface of the e-tip over a cup and core 180gr the 190 is likely a closer comparison, which is why I mention this load. However it is near max. Again, I would either FL size them or if you already are, try turning your die down about a quarter turn. Also have you measured the length of your brass. My 111 requires that I stay .002 under max saami length or that I keep them at 2.163 or less to avoid pressure and sticky bolt lift. Also winchester brass runs a touch long and in every single instance it has required trimming after the first firing with a factory loaded round. Just a few suggestions. I would bet your chamber is pretty tight, it aids in accuracy, and these guns are generally VERY accurate. Good luck and good shooting!! Cody [/QUOTE]
