[QUOTE="Laguna Freak, post: 2924813, member: 87188"] I bought 120 once fired Norma 300 WSM brass from a well known member here a couple years ago. I’ve been saving it for my custom build long action and recently FL sized and loaded some to shoot this weekend. They would not chamber because the case diameter at the webbing is 0.557”. My Lee FL sizing die is unable to resize down to the webbing but my Hornady Custom Grade sizes them back down to 0.556” which enables chambering. The bolt is slightly stiff to close and open but it works. My question is, if I use these cases for load development in this rifle, will the heat and pressure / expansion and contraction of firing cause them to be a better fit for subsequent loads or am I wasting my time and components? Anyone have experience with this issue? [/QUOTE]
