[QUOTE="7.62 Gunner, post: 2631547, member: 121641"] The cause of clickers results from the reamer being too tight where the cartridge base sits. The PRC reamer specs are designed way too tight and most rifles need a custom reamer to fix Hornadys design flaw. Generally .005 clearance over virgin brass diameter is ideal to ensure the die can size the base down enough to chamber the case freely. There's always case spring back so a tight chamber will have issues. Are you saying your fired cases are being sized .005 less than the diameter of virgin brass?? Cuz it's impossible to size the case head down below virgin specs without cracking your die. Point being you may have a reamer problem and a die might not fix it. Measure the fired diameter and see how much it expanded over the virgin brass, if it's less than .005 you need a new reamer. [/QUOTE]
