[QUOTE="jwhop, post: 809736, member: 68569"] You didn't mention which .264 bullet weight you were loading but the correct COL for the 140 grain bullet in .264 Mag is 3.260". If you seat the bullets too far beyond the correct COL they will generally contact the rifling, stick in the barrel and pull out of the brass when you extract the round. But, that would be obvious to you so I think you have a different problem. It sounds like you might have a sizing problem. When you resized the fired brass, it sounds like the shoulder wasn't set back far enough to permit the case to seat fully into the chamber. You could try raising the shell holder to it's fully "up" position and then screw the die into the press until it contacts the shell holder, then full length resize a couple of cases and see if the empty brass will chamber. I'm also puzzled that you are using a crimping die. [/QUOTE]
