[QUOTE="msinsabaugh, post: 551799, member: 34321"] [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]I’ve just started reloading for accuracy. I’ve got a Savage model 11 in .308. I’ve got some once fired brass so I neck sized it. I used Hornady’s tool to determine the OAL for the bullet to be just touching the rifling and then backed it off by .005”. It was a bit difficult chambering the first round but not excessively so. I assumed that was from not feeding it from the mag.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]I tried to eject the round and the bolt would unlock but did not want to move to the rear. Some stronger tugging on my part and it finally let go. I tried the other two rounds I had loaded up and had similar problems (though not as bad). When I looked at the rounds afterwards I noticed “scuffing” on the bullet.
