[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1231174, member: 5219"] Have you tried measuring new brass vs the FL sized brass? How about putting some new brass into the new chamber? While new brass is usually slightly undersized compared to what a FL die would do to your fired brass, it would at least tell you if the new chamber is close to being headspaced correctly. Can you close the bolt on the FL sized brass? If you can, cover a case with layout fluid or a sharpie and see where the brass is tight. Only then can you figure out if it can be sized to fit. It might be hanging up near the web which would require a small base die to resize it to fit. Let us know what you find. [/QUOTE]
