[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1011668, member: 5219"] I have encountered this snick of bolt opening resistance with the thicker case of a 7mm/375 Ruger wildcat I made last year. Virgin brass worked fine but once fired or more had that snick regardless of powder charge. A fellow poster shared a inexpensive method that has worked. A FL die has its upper section machined off so there is no shoulder and neck. Some of lower portion of the die is also machined. This leaves a tapered tube. (it is hell on a Carbide tool bit and makes some interesting orange sparks till it cuts through the case hardening) The body sizer can be adjusted so it will reduce the taper in the lower portion of the cartridge. There is one small issue in this approach. The cartridge becomes longer requiring shoulder sizing. No big deal just one more step. It solved my issue and has made the multiple fired cases useful again. [/QUOTE]
