[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 549105, member: 15748"] Wizard, It's a common misunderstanding that resizing in a full-length die returns fired brass to its original, unfired dimensions; it doesn't. Small base dies will take these down to closer to the original dimensions, and might be worth a try here. Once the brass chambers easily and has been fired in [U]your[/U] chamber, it should react well to the conventional full length sizing (or even neck sizing, if you chose to go that route). This is more than likely a case of brass that was fired in a somewhat more "generous" chamber the first time around, yours being a somewhat tighter chamber, or a combination of both. Fairly common situation if you insist on using brass fired in other chambers, which might make a small base die a worthwhile investment for you. [/QUOTE]
