[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1338529, member: 90080"] Fastest way to find where it's binding is to mark up one of your reloads with a magic marker from ogive to base. Let it dry and chamber it, working the bolt handle up and down several times. The marks will show you where it's touching. This will show if case is too long, neck is too tight, shoulder is not set back enough, or your die is not reducing case diameter enough. [/QUOTE]
