[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1114684, member: 77249"] Will empty Bertram brass, Full length sized and trimmed, Fit in the chamber and the bolt close easy? If the neck was longer on the Bertram brass and your seating die has crimping capability, and was set to not crimp on the Ultra case, The longer neck Bertram brass would hit the crimping shoulder in the die. And the bullet does not have a crimping grove for the edge of the case neck to crimp into. This will make a lump on the body of the case where it meets the shoulder angle. The case will go in the gun very tight and the bolt will turn stiff or not at all. Worth checking. [/QUOTE]
