[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1114140, member: 48043"] It is likely simply the 223wssm brass combined with the softer bullet nose. You will likely have to anneal the brass or use another bullet. If you have a factory chamber I wouldn't thin your necks, but if you have a custom barrel you my be able to thin them a bit. This thick neck/ hard to seat bullet crap is endemic to the wssm's. I've loaded a ton of 25 wssm brass and I've even had this problem a bit with 100 grain sierra pills using 4895-- no compression there for sure. [/QUOTE]
