[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2950771, member: 101791"] I had that problem a long time ago. I changed to neck sizing my case with belted mag cases. That ended the problem. After than is was primer pockets that ended the case use. I was shooting a 308 NM. It's shorter to the shoulder than the 300WM. the neck is longer. At the time I couldn't get my hands onto a neck sizing die for the 308 NM case. So tried a 300WM neck sizing die. It only sized about about 2/3 or so of the necks. The balance of the neck remained fired form to my 308 NM chamber. It's been a long time that I have reloaded for that rifle. I can't remember if I had chambering trouble after the cases was fire form the case. It seem like I didn't have any problems. By changing my reloading practice it improved my groups. Some but I was in the 1/2 range @ 100yds at that time with that rifle. That was over 20 years ago. It was done on RCBS dies. Nothing fances either. I have been without a reloading place for almost 2 yrs now. I believe I am findly going to get it build in the next two weeks of so. To many other project I get involve with. Got to Stop that! Bottom line it's a learing curve here. [/QUOTE]
