[QUOTE="Laelkhunter, post: 1527643, member: 38154"] You say that the rifle cycles with new brass, but the bolt won't close on a reloaded case. The reloaded brass is probably from the old barrel, and it could be the new barrel's chamber is a little tighter than your original Weatherby barrel. Same thing happened to me when I had my .340 Weatherby rebarreled with a Lilja barrel. I ended up buying a Larry Willis collet die. It resizes the case ahead of the belt. Innovative Technologies [EMAIL]it@mpinet.net[/EMAIL] or 407-695-2685. Now I can reload the brass that was fired in the old Weatherby barrel whereas I couldn't get them to chamber before. The die is well worth the price considering the cost of brass for a Weatherby. Also, don't forget to trim the cases to the recommended "trim to" length, and chamfer the mouth of the case. [/QUOTE]
