[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1159714, member: 10755"] The simple answer to your problem is this, you have a short chamber and a die that isn't pushing the shoulder back far enough. Your chamber isn't the issue, on average, belted magnum cases will grow in the shoulder up to .026", some sloppy chambers will be more than this. The easiest fix, if you aren't camming over due to press design, is you can take .010" off the TOP of the shellholder, allowing the case to enter the die further. This is exactly what I do when I run into this problem. Also, I have run many belted cases in many different cals, not once, have I found this so called bulge above the belt that hampers chambering. If you adjust your die so that the case headspaces solely off the shoulder, you should have no problems with bulges or case head separations. Your gunsmith doesn't have a clue!! Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
