[QUOTE="antelopedundee, post: 2846147, member: 107384"] Were you able to chamber the swelled cases? My second time out with the gun [last fall 2022 was the first time] was when I had difficulty. Powder fill was slightly below the neck IIRC. Some cases chambered with difficulty which I decided later was likely due to a short throat. Unknowingly I was jamming the copper bullets. Fortunately no harm came of it other than some excess pressure signs. I made up some dummy rounds using some old cases FL sized and neck expanded with a .262 mandrel. I seated the bullets with the seater die such that the bullet could be seated to final depth with just a smidgen of effort and extracted without pulling the bullet. These are my to touch dummies. All 3 that I made had the bullet seated deeper than I would have like suggesting that the chamber has little or no freebore. I might need to find me one of those long drop tubes. [/QUOTE]
