[QUOTE="Deputy819, post: 1417044, member: 98025"] Okay all. Since my last post another error (partly mine and partly equipment) was uncovered. Apparently the case trimmer I was using was a little "off" AND I wasn't measuring OAL of EVERY piece of prepped brass to verify correct length. Seems trim length for 6mm Remington is 2.223 and my cutter (Lee w/case length gauge and lock stud for a cordless drill) was stopping at 2.227. Sometimes brass would trim off and sometimes NOT. Soooooooo...my trim length has NEVER been consistent or right. Another member here helped me discover this and when I cleaned out my chamber the whole back half of the chamber mop came out a really nice, mesmerizing shade of NEON BLUE. :eek: Maybe my "over length" rounds were being slightly crimped in the chamber and throwing everything out of whack?? In any case....now I've got Forster Original Case Trimmer on the way, a clean chamber and I'm measuring EVERY case now. Supposed to have good weather tomorrow so we'll see what happens. [/QUOTE]
