[QUOTE="Reloader222, post: 474207, member: 25295"] Check for the correct AOL - not too near to the lands. Go to this site for making you own device to measure the guns maximum AOL: [URL="http://www.larrywillis.com/"]Innovative Technologies - Reloading Equipment[/URL] Second test is to check if a sized case chambers easily. If not, I agree that you need to bump the shoulder a bit more. With the ram up, lower the sizer dies until it touches the shell holder. Then lower the ram. Turn the dies in another 1/4 turn and lock it. Size and case, clean it and then chamber it again in the rifle and see what it does. If it still does not chamber nice, you could try another 1/4 turn. You would feel the ram woud over-cam. However, be caucious that you do not bump the necks too far back as this might influence headspace and cloud lead to case seperation. Lastly I would check the position of my seater dies. If turned in too much it could deform the case. Raise the ram with a case in the shell holder. Then turn the seater dies in until you feel it touches the case. The back off at least 1/2 a turn or a full turn. [/QUOTE]
