[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 2513929, member: 5219"] Yep have seen it with the WSMs, RCMs, and RUMs. Small base dies just are not made for these rounds. Made a few small base dies by cutting the top and bottom of a RCBS FL die. Using a carbide tool bit it will cut through the case hardened outer layer of the die with lots of orange sparks. It is a bit of a PITA to smooth the entrance of the die to prevent scratched cases though. Some adjustments are necessary to get the lower portion of the case web area diameter reduced sufficiently. After reading Alex Wheeler's comments I would be inclined to sand the rear portion of an existing chamber in future or spec out a reamer to ensure a greater difference between the die and chamber dimensions.
