[QUOTE="jmason, post: 222497, member: 10486"] I'll bet my issue is very similar. I think I'll get .001" or .002" removed from my die or shell holder and see if that helps. I tried another die and it really didn't change anything. So I took some brass and put excessive force on it in the die to make sure the shoulders were getting pushed back as far as possible. That seems to help, but some of them still required extra pressure to close the bolt. If that little bit of trimming off the die or shell holder helps and I get it shooting well I'll be happy. I'm dredding the thought of sending it out to a smith because if they're going to pull the barrel I'll end up going further($$$) than correcting the chambering issue............:D Do you guys think that by trimming my die or shell hold by .001" or .002" (if that works) I'll end up with a safty isuue or just a shorter life cycle on my brass?
