[QUOTE="msinsabaugh, post: 552139, member: 34321"] [b]More pieces to the puzzle[/b] I was correct in my previous post. I'm using 38gn of Varget. I tried some experiments. 1) I took one of my once fired cases and I seated the bullte to the same depth as some Hornady BTHP I bought [INDENT]The result was the same. It would chamber but the bolt was hard to unlock and pull back and there was a mark near the base of the bullet. [/INDENT]2) I took a brand new case. Full length resized it (everything I've read says to resize new brass) and seated the bullet to the same depth as the Hornady. [INDENT]No problems [/INDENT]3) I took a brand new case. Full length resized it and seated the bullet to the length my OAL gauge says (-.008). [INDENT]No problems at all [/INDENT]4) I took one of the once fired cases and full length resized it. I seated the bullet to the OAL setting (-.008). [INDENT]No problems at all (I then proceeded to do 3 more the same wan and had no problems) [/INDENT]5) Using a case gauge I checked a) the new case, b) the once fired case full length resized, and c) the once fired case neck sized. [INDENT]They all were to spec [/INDENT]I am now at a loss. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
