[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 992981, member: 10755"] It does sound like you have a minimum chamber, this poses a problem, but I have a simple and easy temporary fix for you. Get yourself a set of automotive feeler gauges, try the .005" gauge first, slide it under the case and hold it in place with your left hand (if right handed.:D) and size the case, try to chamber it, if still stiff try the .008" gauge, if the .010" gauge doesn't fix it, you can go to the .015" gauge in steps, but I wouldn't go more than that. I have encountered this several times over the years, once you determine what size shim works, you can turn the same amount off the TOP of a shell holder and keep that with that die set. I have a few cartridges like that myself right now. Let me know how you go. Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
