[QUOTE="Tommy Moffitt, post: 2290405, member: 111156"] My son recently purchased a CVA Cascade chambered in .308. After following the recommended barrel break in procedure, I took the once fired Nosler brass and began the process of developing some reloads to use for hunting rounds. I visited the range yesterday and to my surprise, was unable to close the bolt on the new reloads. I used Hornady Custom Grade full-length dies and as always, followed the proper reloading procedures with OCD accuracy. I've been reloading since I was a kid, consider myself pretty good at it, and have never had this issue. I was able to chamber un-sized, once fired brass without issue and even went so far as trying a few rounds of the original factory rounds, again without issue. I then took some of the reloads and was able to chamber and fire them in a Remington 700 and S&W AR10 without issue. After returning home, I took some of the new factory rounds, once fired brass and resized brass and took measurements of the neck, shoulder, body, extractor groove, etc. and didn't find anything that looked inconsistent between the three. Any suggestions??? [/QUOTE]
