[QUOTE="hweissert, post: 2097193, member: 34097"] I'm leaning toward the same as you. When I referenced resizing, I'm referring to bumping the shoulder back 2 thousandths of an inch from a fired case. Ie measure the fired case from new rifle with E 500 comparator and set the die where it only moves shoulder back 2 thou. I then thought well, maybe it is essentially a "unintentional" wildcat chamber so I resized to neck only in hopes this would "seal" faster. No change. The bullet theories above by going to bigger bullet I have not tried but, don't really want to move to a 180 grain in it as the 168's shoot in both other rifles very very well. Even with this rifle, the 168's I'm able to keep .281 of bearing surface inside the neck to touch the lands. Which puts it near the shoulder junction at the bottom of the bullet. I'm not sure how going up 12 grains in Bullet could or would help. I'm going by in morning to check headspace. Maybe that's it. [/QUOTE]
