[QUOTE="marioq, post: 917822, member: 40669"] Guys I need a little help here… I think I am doing things right with what I have but I will do the short version… It is too late to send Butterbean a text so I figured I would come here and Pick the brains of all y'all at once… As some of you know I have 2 STWs. One rem 700 from hill county rifles and another model 70 that I had done by a local guy. Anyway, for my montana hunt I reloaded 20 rounds. turns out the seater die was set too deep and buggered up the shoulder area and the shells would not work. Today, I decided to try and fix that problem so I pulled all the bullets and started to resize the cases. Well, they would not fit in my 700. The 70 no problem. So I then started trimming the cases because I measured and they were a little long. Still would not chamber in the 700. I figured maybe I have to push the shoulder back…. I know many of you talk about it by .002 but I do not know how to do this….. I dialed the die in a turn at a time and after 3-4 times, it would chamber…. I thought FInally!!!!! So, I tried with the next one and got a case stuck…. Stripped the lip at the base of the case….. Hit the primer ejector piece from my lee die with a mallet and got it out… Now, the primer ejector and the neck expander are stuck in the case..( same part I know.) End of the story, I am tired of messing with it so not till mañana…. but I need to pull the expander out…. It won't go into the little screw piece because I think i dented it a little and it seems as though the tolerances around the expander acre piece are very tight…. So, anyone see this before??? Am I doing it right??? Should I push the shoulder a little at a time??? I did not lube them first… maybe that would help…. wither way, good night… And let me know what you think… Thanks Mario [/QUOTE]
