[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1107592, member: 10755"] Not wanting to sound harsh, but, how much reloading experience do you have? It sounds to me that this a simple fault in how you are sizing your brass, causing over long brass from base to shoulder, or base to case mouth. Have you trimmed the cases back to .010" below max length? How are you sizing the brass? Are you screwing the die in until it touches the shell holder, then sizing? Have you tried sizing by removing the firing pin assembly, sizing a case, chambering it and seeing how much resistance there is? Try adjusting your sizing, per the above, by sizing and checking in the rifle until a case chambers with very slight resistance, the bolt should fall 90% of the way before it just stops. If you like, from this point you can turn the die in 1/24 of a turn down for an additional .002"-.003" clearance. The easiest method by far is to actually measure the amount you are sizing, the Hornady Headspace gauge or Forster Headspace gauge are both fantastic tools for this. Cheers. lightbulb [/QUOTE]
