[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 307674, member: 12"] Mftr dies are varying tolerances between mftrs. Sometimes setting the die all the way touch the shell holder may push the shoulder back way to far and actually give you a very slight bulge at the edge of the shoulder that is causing the problem with chambering. Plus it will likely give you excess headspace in many cases. The reason I know that, is that happened to me about 20 years ago and gave me fits until Dave Tooley straightened me out. You really need to measure unfired brass, fired 1x and fired cases that are hard to chamber. Measure the headspace with either a bump gauge or hornady tool that measures that. All you want is the .001-.002 push back until it will smoothly chamber. BH [/QUOTE]
