[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1345825, member: 87243"] Either that, or your chamber is tight enough that when you run your ram all the way up against your die, it's still not bumping the shoulder. I had this in a Remington .308 with a stupid tight chamber, I had to use a small base die to size it enough to fit, it wasn't just the shoulder area that was tight. If your die isn't sizing enough, you can get a new shell holder and measure it, and use a diamond stone to remove about .005" of material off the top at a time until you begin to bump the shoulder. Put that shell holder in your die box, specifically for that rifle. Essentially what your doing is letting your press push your brass farther up into your die, allowing proper sizing for that rifle. I believe there are adjustable shell holder kits as well to resolve this issue, but I haven't used them, because I had enough shell holders laying around that I could spare one for a rifle, and it was quicker and cheaper than ordering one.
