[QUOTE="belthazar48, post: 451934, member: 29205"] Factory ammo fits a bit snug, sorta like a twice fired neck sized only like fit. Used an RS RCBS alum. "O" frame in my 1st post, and yes it was not a full 360 turn and yes there was plenty of frame flex going on. Switched over to my RCBS JR cast Iron "O" frame, after taking in all that was said. Fired a half dozen reloads and 3 factory loads, after mounting a scope and bore sighting(more on that later). Very pleased with the 100 yd results of the 3 Rem 160grNosPart. The first time I have had a group I could cover with a quarter with a rifle from Big Green, right out of the box. Anyway, brought all the empties home and tried to resize, just touching the shell holder, and still cannot close bolt. Put a felt tip mark on the die(don't want to be caught with my pants down again) and tried 1/8 more with slight improvement and then tried 1/4 turn more and bingo! So that is where I am going to leave it, for hunting anyway. I may do just neck sizing for target shooting.Thanks to all for you timely comments. I borrowed an SLC (?) laser boresighter from a friend as indicated above. Pretty simple directions and implimentation, but worked like a charm, with only a slight adjustment necessary at 100yds. Vast improvement over the old bushnell system. [/QUOTE]
