[QUOTE="Bitis Arietans, post: 1288610, member: 100628"] Hey Nm / W Rose- the bullet isn't seated as yet. I started with new brass. Shot the rifle. FL sized the brass, setting the sizing die, as I always do. Screwing down the die to touch the shell holder, then screwing down about 1/8-1/4 turn, to take the play out. I loaded the once fired brass, (fired in this same rifle) and the cartridges were tight. I fired them, although the bolt was tight, (Not banging down the bolt tight). I proceeded to size them again, the same way. This time I'm checking the sized brass in the rifle before loading them. They are tight!
