[QUOTE="Lonewolf74, post: 2777497, member: 96274"] [USER=1521]@Mikecr[/USER]; you’re saying the case should not need to be sized at all at the web and base as long as it chambers fine? At case base just above extractor groove new brass and 3X fired brass all measure .586 the base or primer pockets are not growing at all. Above the web is where growth happens from .579 to .586. Keep in mind this is a wild cat with reduced body taper and 35* shoulder. I have not sized a once fired case. I fired 5 cases 3 times with only partially neck sizing in between and sent them to Whidden to get a custom hydraulic form and full length bushing sizing die. Since receiving the dies I have hydro formed brass and bumped shoulders back to where I have a slight crush fit in chamber. I haven’t got to shooting any of these yet but should be able to within this week. Out of curiosity I went to size one of the 3X fired brass and that is when I found it was very hard to size just above the web. I tried to size all the fired brass and they all started to stick in the same spot. I fully sized one case with a great deal of effort so I could get some measurements. [/QUOTE]
