[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 679396, member: 48043"] Right above the solid head of the case where it swells when fired is where I'm talking about. Look at the case drawing on page 45 of the lyman book(#49) for what I mean for web. That should be your largest measurement for girth on a tapered round and if it is over-book numbers(.587") your chamber is too big and either needs work or you'll have to find dies to work with it to get your sized #'s .002" or so under fired #'s. As I said earlier, I had a 7rum with somewhat similar issues, the rifle acted like I wasn't really sizing brass, brass was over dimension, splitting fl dies, etc.. I should have re-barreled or re-chambered, but I threw in the towel and got my money back. I still wish I had that action, as mag. lefty actions are hard to get at times. [/QUOTE]
