[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2290516, member: 10755"] If a die is tight in the body, as most Hornady dies are, the case grows longer considerably more, but if the shoulder is not bumped enough due to the extra elongation of the case body and then the die doesn’t touch the shoulder when the shell holder is touching…..well, you see the problem? This is why I say Hornady dies are JUNK. Had the very same issue with them. Anyway, place a .003” feeler gauge under the case head, but wind the decapping rod up first, and size a case, chamber it and see if it’s still tight, use a different case each time, if still tight put a .005” feeler gauge under the case head and repeat steps above. Also, have you polished the expander button on your die? The button can pull the shoulder forward if it is rough, polishing and lubing your necks with graphite powder helps a lot to eliminate this problem. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
