[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 535892, member: 11853"] Make you a dummy round without a primer.Blacken the bullet and follow my procedure,but if it won't chamber,don't force it.back out,pulling the bolt strait back. It should have visible marks where the bullets touch the lands.Use your seating die to push the bullet in,a little at a time until you get the round to chamber.Some like to seat the bullet touching the lands,I don't.It could cause you to have a high pressure spike.Every rifle is different,some have a short throat some have a long throat,that's why you need to check.One of my 308's has a very long throat,I can just seat my bullets to the max length of the magazine,but my 300WSM has a very short throat,so I have to be very careful because,with some bullets I have to seat less than the book COL.
