[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 169089, member: 2852"] I would have to agree with catwhacker here (on the subject at hand anyway). I don't think you have a work hardened neck, I think your dies aren't bumping your shoulders back enough. A work hardened neck would not prevent you from sliding a round into the chamber and not being able to close the bolt easily. That is a headspace problem that comes from dies that aren't doing what they are supposed to. I actually do the exact same thing as CS and have a set of shellholders cut off and seperated from the rest by a red marker on them. With that, you can actually make your FL sizing die a true FL die and not just another neck die. Or you can have your die cut off some but that will just fix that one problem. Since you are sure to run into this again if you buy any amount of dies, you just as well prepare for them all and have shellholders cut off instead. [/QUOTE]
