[QUOTE="Max Heat, post: 921372, member: 43153"] OK, I just got back from the range, where things were getting heated up between some people. I got the hell out of there before cops or the game commish showed up, cause my spection sticker is expired! But that's way off topic, so I won't elaborate, unless someone wants to hear what went down. I shot a total of 6 rounds, with the first one being the "test" round for one of the factory barrel cases that was resized using the 2 aluminum shims, which total .008" thickness (they did fit). It DID seem to help, as the round went forward into the chamber OK. There WAS some tightness when dropping the bolt down though. But after firing and then re-chambering it, the bolt went down without any tightness except at the very bottom of it's travel. Good enough for me, as I think it will now re-size much easier. Hold on a sec - lemme run it through and see... Hmm, that's interesting. It re-sized MUCH easier this time - similar to the ones shot out of the new barrel originally, and it does chamber OK. But now it IS back to having some light tension, the whole length of travel, when locking the bolt down. But now I think the REAL issue is how much the (5-way) shell holder tears up on the rim of the shells when pulling the (factory barrel fired) shells out of the sizing die. I was not able to get the "test" shell to lock into the case trimmer chuck after initially re-sizing it - and it still doesn't lock in now. I think I'm ready to start drinking... [/QUOTE]
