[QUOTE="Jeffpatton00, post: 1927797, member: 97649"] I want to be sure I'm understanding your points, MikeCR. I was doing load development so only 3 rounds were over the book's max pressure, and even they didn't show pressure signs - I showed those to some fellow reloaders at the range and they suggested I could go to an even higher max load, based on the lack of pressure signs, so I'm not thinking it's an over-pressure problem unless there's something I'm missing. Regarding the chamber, this is a custom build and the chamber was honed by the smith using a new, custom hone - I was thinking that perhaps the chamber was honed a little tighter than SAAMI, given the seating problems, rather than being sloppy. Is there another way to think about this? Finally, you mention oversizing - since I was focused on bumping the shoulder and didn't size the body all the way to the base, I was thinking I was undersizing the case, not oversizing. Were you saying that by not fully sizing the body, I was leaving the case itself oversized? I really need to figure this problem out so I want to be sure I'm fully understanding people's suggestions.
