[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1315099, member: 33822"] D.Camilleri, Sounds like our chambers are very similar. Brand new Nosler brass is a good .010 too short in my chamber, and I resize with a +.008 Redding competition shellholder. Brand new brass does not shoot very good in my rifle. Brand new brass also shoots 40-50 fps slower than fired brass. The other thing that happens with brand new brass, or with brass that I accidentally resize with with a standard shellholder and bump the shoulder too far, is the primers flatten... the firing pin pushes the entire cartridge forward before ignition, then at initial pressure the primer shoots back out of the primer pocket before the brass stretches to fill the chamber and the back of the primer flattens as the primer re-seats into the pocket. And considering my rifle likes bullets seated .010 from the lands, there is too much variation with brass that is new or shoulders resized too much. [/QUOTE]
