[QUOTE="barefooter56, post: 1147720, member: 85389"] Especially if you are using once fire brass out of another rifle ! I would suggest new brass and dedicate it to that rifle to make life easier. The small base die MAY fix your issue but that will depend on where your problem is. Is it the down at the base of the cartridge case body or is it the shoulder not being bumped back far enough ? If you have another piece of brass that chambers and you have a set of calipers and a Sinclair or Hornady bump gage kit. Measure the base to datum line on shoulder of the case that fits and one that does not fit along with the case body diameters one of those two or both MAY need to be addressed. The small base die only may address the case body issue and not the shoulder. Check. An L. E. Wilson cartridge case gauge will help also. Sinclair has them. [/QUOTE]
