[QUOTE="SAPPER26, post: 617024, member: 23660"] I would say it's a bad re-sizing die. The only cartridge I've ever crimped is a 375 H&H. The only reason I did for that was that it was an exceptionally hard recoiling 375. Use a micrometer to measure the inside of the case mouth after resizing, if it's giving you less than .002 smaller than your bullet diameter, then your sizing die might be too "big". I'm not too familiar with the 7/08 and what brass it uses, could be your brass is thinner than normal too. If that doesn't get you started on a solution, I'm sure someone else on here might help you more. Good luck. Grant [/QUOTE]
