[QUOTE="Saskquatch6, post: 2099980, member: 58704"] Agree with Skipglo on this - if when chambering an empty piece of brass you can feel some pressure or resistance but the bolt still closes fairly easily, I think you already have your fix with dies etc on hand. When sizing your brass you will want to adjust your die down in increments - testing the chambering of the brass each time - until you no longer feel resistance on the bolt. An issue I have encountered twice is that I ran out of die adjustment before bumping shoulder far enough to accomplish the above. I was able to grind a few thousandths off my shell holder in both cases to get the bump required. Redding Competition Shell Holders are made to do the same or alternatively you could shave a little off the bottom of your die. Trimming your existing shell holder if necessary is the cheapest way to go and if you mess up you’re only out $5. I wouldn’t mess with dies if you don’t have to. I think Erick Cortina has a Utube video showing proper sizing die adjustment if you’re interested. [/QUOTE]
