[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 830197, member: 8833"] Couple of questions for you. - After you full lenght rezize your brass, with no primer, powder, or bullet installed. How does your bolt close with just the resized brass. - I'm not saying what has been mentioned above does not have some merit, but it sounds to me like you are not pushing your shoulder back far enough with your current die/press combination. - If your FL resized brass does not allow proper bolt closure tension then you know it is in your resizing of brass. If that is the situation you could do one of two things to allow more downward travel to push the shoulder back. You could have your shell holder trimmed back a couple thousands or you could do the same thing with the base of your die. Both will allow more reizing to get your shoulder set back. Good luck [/QUOTE]
