[QUOTE="Moman, post: 333245, member: 10494"] A couple reasons for this. #1: You already got rid of one rifle over this. May have been a bad one but my experience is that most 700's shoot pretty well. Yes, there are the exceptions but for the most part they are decent. I would have tried a different lot of brass before giving up on a gun. #2: All brass stretches upon firing. Fire forming new brass is the most important stretch that it will have in its life. To some extent, it even forms a memory. Not to say that the dimensions of it can't be changed by FL sizing it. #3: If you did have a bad chamber in your last 700, who knows how much tweeking this did to that brass. #4: A chamber on the larger side allows the brass to stretch upon fire forming. I've had 300 WM's that would stretch .014 while fire forming. That's a lot of pressure on brass trying to get it back to minimum tolerances. Have you measured your shoulders?? I know a lot of people who use the Lee dies with great success. I doubt if it's the dies fault, unless it isn't set up properly. I am just saying that I would try something new. Mix it up a little. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
