[QUOTE="TBuckus, post: 929147, member: 49491"] The previous post is a good example of how to check lengths for your particular gun and bullet, but I think he excluded one sentence that checks case length. After you split your neck, file off edges smooth, and seat your bullet, make sure the extra piece of the case neck sits forward on the bullet. If the case length is 2.025, make sure it sits about .050 longer, say 2.075. When you chamber the cartridge, the extra piece of the neck should move back. Do this a few times to get a good reading. This is your max case length for that rifle. (Hopefully I explained it right) I found out that my case length was .030 over what SAAMI lists. By doing both checks, hopefully you can see if one of those is your issue. [/QUOTE]
