[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 679231, member: 2736"] If you have a oversize/larger chamber, the sizing dies should take care of that. It,s the tight chambers that sometimes dont get sized enough because the dies are not small enough. I would look at the neck diameter, case length compared to chamber length and bullet seating depth. Anyone of these can cause pressure even with reduced loads. If the case necks are nor releasing the bullet enough, You will have pressure. If the case length is longer than the chamber, they tend to crimp and cause pressure. (A simple test is to try to stick a bullet in a fired case), if it does not want to go the case needs to be trimed. If your bullet is touching the lands or very close this can also cause Pressure in full house loads. Just a few things to look at. Hope this helps. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
