[QUOTE="buck52, post: 473779, member: 25655"] Hi Guys I have a problem with reloads in 6.5X55: Full length sized Norma Cases Trimmed to 2.155" 120 grn Nosler BT The rifle is a Tikka M595 with a Border (Archer) barrel chambered for 120 grain bullets and has been well cleaned. The resized, trimmed & cleaned empty case fits pefectly with the bolt closing easily, the problem is that after a bullet is seated the bolt becomes tighter to close, not too tight but tight none the less, I have tried all seating depths from 20 thou off the lands to exactly the same length as a Norma factory round (which is not tight) Once fired the case ejects easily and there are no signs of pressure. The outside case neck diameter is the same after seating the bullet as it is before. Anyone got any idea of what the problem may be please? Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
