[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1951219, member: 52437"] This is the New MEC press with zero slop. I had to grind a bit of the shell holder in order to get it into spec (it was out of spec high and I thought that was the original issue). I use lube on ever piece of brass and it is wiped on by finger so I don't think it is that as I have never had an issue like this before. What if the 8 pieces that chamber right now simply have not grown much in the first firing and then after the second firing I am having the same issue as the other 2 which have a stiff bolt? Also, as an fyi, my shell holder is .015 below spec height now so in theory I should be able to bump the shoulders WAY back if I really wanted to which is not happening at the moment. [/QUOTE]
