[QUOTE="thumbs, post: 895158, member: 624"] Yep lesson learned for sure. The long and the short of it is I just didn't have time. I had to get them loaded. I figured since the rifle was 5.56 and the cases were 5.56 as long as I properly loaded the rounds I was good to go. Ole Murrphy's law again huh?? Heck other than the fact that they don't work I really can't see what is wrong with them. I guess it's that one measurement that is causing the problem but even with that I still don't see any marks on the cases to indicate it being to tight or rubbing. Obviously it is. This rifle must have one tight chamber. When I drop the round into the chamber by hand it sound like and looks like it is in there properly. I guess it's just not seated quite right and when the bolt hits it it forces it in the chamber pretty hard. I just want to make sure I understand what your saying. The Lee full length die won't work because my chamber is really just a touch under spec, to tight and the original firing of the Lake City brass was in an chamber that was a bit oversize or over spec. Now the RCBS will take the entire oversize Lake City case and make it smaller in diameter that will allow the round to enter the chamber. Is that correct??? It sounds like this is a common problem with once fired milspec brass in a civilian AR since RCBS went to the trouble to make an undersize die set. So the fix is the RCBS two die set right? [/QUOTE]
