[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 1410612, member: 9172"] UPDATE, Just pulled a couple of the bullets from the un-fired 5 year old loads and checked the headspace. Now....I don't have all of the fancy tools, but with a stripped bolt the brass fits in the chamber with the slightest bit of PSI on the bolt the last 1/3 of travel when camming the bolt closed. Bolt WILL NOT CLOSE with one piece of scotch tape on the bottom of the case...which is roughly .0015 - .002 thick. Headspace OK!! I looked at the unloaded brass and it looks like I had expanded them out to greater than 338 because the mouth is belled and they will not chamber at all. 1 pass through the die...just enough to let them chamber and I will be GTG. But, now, why do I have PSI problems with 96 grains of RL33? I'll see how the H1000 shoots today and re-evauluate weather of not to move to the RL33 Again...Headspace checks out OK...back to square 1 Tod [/QUOTE]
