[QUOTE="Frogman77, post: 321455, member: 15339"] Are you're loads really hot by any chance? If they're on the upper end your shoulder might need bumping back like the others said...The other thing is if you're using a full length die with the expander ball if you don't lube the inside of the neck it might be pulling the neck and shoulder foward on the way out of the die negating sizing you just did on the shoulder. Take out the expander ball from your sizer and try it that way. I adjust my redding body die so I can feel a slight resistance closing the bolt but not difficult to chamber. Check your loads too, if they're hot they might be expanding a lot more. [/QUOTE]
