[QUOTE="The Oregonian, post: 1525748, member: 51405"] Make sure the exterior case mouth is chamfered. I have had issues where there was a slight lip on fired cases, usually after two firings. Just brass would chamber, which I was doing to check shoulder bump. But then loaded ammo would not bc of the little lip. So now I chamfer when I can feel a little lip on the very end of the neck...easy to feel with your finger nail. It seemed to be maybe .003 or so. It felt different than not enough bump bc the round would stop well short of going into the chamber and was a hard stop and couldn’t get any kind of crush fit. [/QUOTE]
