[QUOTE="j3564wost, post: 1107574, member: 69547"] So I have finally got around to reloading some rounds for my 6.5-06ai that I purchased on here around a year ago. The rifle came with 100 rnds, so I order a set of redding FL 40 degree dies to reload once the rnds were gone. Well that time has come..... I had a few rnds left so I based coal off of them. I ran the shells through the FL die and loaded them with 59 grns of retumbo and a 140 Berger. I'm using 280ai brass by the way. I went the the range today to try out the new reloads and it was almost impossible to close the bolt! I was single loading them by hand and they entered the chamber just fine. But I had to push forward hard on the bolt hand and push VERY hard to close. I tried to eject some of the unfired shells that I couldn't get the bolt hand to close on and it was VERY difficult to do. The rounds I did get the bolt closed on shot excellent .25-.5 moa just like the rounds that came with the rifle. The only thing I can think of is that the chamber is not a 40 degree chamber??? Thanks in advance for any advice, kinda takes the fun out of shooting... [/QUOTE]
