[QUOTE="deerslayer1435, post: 875914, member: 73237"] First of as a inexperienced reloader I want to thank you for your time and help.. I am using actual lapua brass fired 2x at most. I am full length resizing the brass as for question 3 and 4 I'm not sure I think it is a bushing and I don't no if its in the high or low position and didn't no it could be changed but when I get home from work I will post a picture.. However last night I was exsperentimg and made sure I had the right pilot as(and I did) I took a never fired lapua bras and loaded it to a very long length of 3.70 and tried to put it in the chamber to see if it would slide the bullet in however the bullet would not slide and of course the bolt would not close! So I kept pressing the bullet down till it reached a length of 3.65 and when I would go to close the bolt at that length it was short enough to allow the bolt of the rifle to maybe used as if it was a press, pressing the bullet down to 3.54 inches wich is what my book says to use as a oal. I then took a rubber mallet and tried to see if I was able to hit the pill and make it seat farther and I was unable to unless I used great force.. So with that said I'm lost unless the bolt is being used as a press. [/QUOTE]
