[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2234252, member: 61747"] The issue is the case base is likely .5315 after sizing. Saami chamber is designed for .5320. You need .5295 or around .002-003 for proper expansion. MGM makes a chamber reamer that opens up web .002 and allows standard dies to work. Custom dies by whidden address the issue by undersizing the brass like a small base die does. Another option is to cut the top off a 6.5 PRC and shave the bottom of the die or a shell holder and remove some material to allow the die to size further down the web in a tighter area of the taper.
