[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 474573, member: 3745"] This is just to make sure you do not have just a little swelling of the case around the shoulder. I know you measured for that, but running it back through your sizing die will make sure. I did notice one thing you said earlier, that there was not a difference in the neck size before and after seating a bullet. There must some difference or you would have no neck tension. You should be seeing anywhere from .002 to .005 larger neck size after you have seated a bullet. Take a black magic marker and color the neck and shoulder area of a loaded round, then chamber it. You may be able to see where contact is being made by the marker rubbing off. I still suspect it is either the neck or the shoulder needs bumped. [/QUOTE]
