[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1682032, member: 2736"] You can still use the Full length die, Just don't go all the way down to the shell holder. Take the expander ball out and size one case just a little, try it in the rifle (Place the case under the extractor before inserting it in the action to prevent a false feeling trying to get the bolt over the extractor) and then try the case to see if it is tight, (Don't force it Because you want to just feel the cartridge when it chambers). if it doesn't want to go into battery easy, tighten the die a little more and repeat the process until you get the cartridge sized enough to chamber but not full sized. This is normal if the tail stock on the lathe is not perfectly on the same center line as the bore The reamer will cut a larger chamber in the rear than the reamer. The chamber looks rough but over time it will smooth out. Max loads are not recommended because they can be hard to extract. You can buy a go gauge for less than $40.00 and check head space if you don't have a smith handy. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
