[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2160665, member: 26077"] First thing to check. Does the fired case, before you do anything to it, go back into the chamber and allow the bolt to close easily on it. My bet is they do as they are a prefect fire form to the chamber after firing. I will also bet that if you have a neck sizer die, just neck sizing the fired case will allow easy chambering of the neck sized but not loaded round. Whether you have a neck size die or not, the fact the fired case goes back in easily tells you the FL die is making something fatter or making the necks a lot longer as it FL resizes the case and you are effectively having to over resize it to get rid of that bulge, wherever it is being created. You need to find that spot and fix that issue because bumping the shoulder back .008 is just creating excess head space. [/QUOTE]
