Sounds to me like you are going to blow something or someone up if you don't back down a good bit.NO..It will not close, as it has to be beaten out with a rubber hammer after firing...strange is right..a new sized case goes in nicely like it should.or once fired factory from another gun resized.. cycles and closes well .after the shot.PROBLEM...I told my buddy its time to invest in a new rifle..this gun has been rebarrelled prior..prob only 300 rounds thru it....
Will this rifle fire ANY factory(not handloaded) ammo without doing this???? What is your diameter just ahead of the body/bolt juncture on the case?? It shouldn't be over .512". It should be 2.298" to the base of the radius(max) and 2.504 to the top of the radius(max).NO..It will not close, as it has to be beaten out with a rubber hammer after firing...strange is right..a new sized case goes in nicely like it should.or once fired factory from another gun resized.. cycles and closes well .after the shot.PROBLEM...I told my buddy its time to invest in a new rifle..this gun has been rebarrelled prior..prob only 300 rounds thru it....
