[QUOTE="264MHC, post: 2012737, member: 111161"] This looks more like a brass issue to me. If you measure the diameter at the line where it no longer sizes and also measure the same place on virgin brass, I bet you’ll find a good bit of difference. I had a similar occurrence when using Hornady or Federal brass in a 6.5x55. That brass used the standard American .473 case head dimension, while the chamber used the proper .479 CIP dimension. Switched to .479 case head brass and the problem went away. Could be your brass is just too small at the base for the chamber. If the difference isn’t too great, and the brass consistently chambers, I’d just roll with it. [/QUOTE]
