[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2596385, member: 100742"] I had a small problem with two cases, in 270 Weather Mag. That case has the same dimensions a the 257 Weather Mag. After 4 reloading's, two of the 30 cases, would not allow the bolt to close when reloaded. I adjusted the sizer die by screwing it down into the press, several times, before those two rounds would chamber. I have left the die at that level since. All my empty cases will chamber easily and allow the bolt to close. I am using the Hornady head space tool Size E for shoulder bump, but it seems very inconsistent. I need help using the tool . Right now I'm just letting the rifle tell me the cases are sized correctly and will allow easy chambering and easy bolt closing. This may mean I am sizing the cases more than is actually needed???
