[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1095823, member: 4191"] Gotcha. Well then shortening the reloading die or grinding down the top flat surface of the shell holder won't help, because you're saying the interference is on the straight sidewall of the body, just back of the shoulder. That sounds as if the chamber in your old barrel was larger in diameter at that location than the chamber in your new barrel is, and the reloading die you have is too large in diameter at that location to reduce the brass that were fireformed in the old barrel's chamber - in order to chamber in the new barrel/chamber. Talk about a run-on sentence.... :) I think a body die from Redding may be the way to go. They aren't too expensive. At least for the standard cartridges. Dunno about in .340 Weatherby. You should put your calipers on a casing fired in the new barrel/chamber, and compare the diameter at the location of interference to the diameter of one of the casings that were fired in your old barrel/chamber. If you're correct about the location of interference, the casing from the old barrel/chamber should be larger in diameter at the location of interference than the casing fired in the new barrel/chamber. If so, that would increase the confidence you've identified the correct location of interference... lightbulb Let us know what you get for measurements... [/QUOTE]
