[QUOTE="winmag, post: 386701, member: 22166"] What kind of reloading press are you using? The reason I ask, my cousin had a lee turret press and it would warp jsut enough to make the cases not chamber. They were way out of round. Hornady Lock-N-Load single stage. Redding dye's. Fed 270wsm (2x loaded) brass. I also spend a huge amount of time with case prep keeping as exacting tollerances as I possibly can. All trimmed to within .001 of eachother. When full lenght sizing how much did you bumb the shoulder back? As far as I could w/o ''crushing'' the shoulder. Press ram just bumps dye on the stroke. any more and I crush cases. I wouldve necksized if I wasnt loading for 3 rifles. The brass loads like silk in my rifle with [U]MY [/U]bolt, and in the other rifle, BUT ONLY with [U]MY [/U]bolt. I know its weird, but its gotta be a head space issue. The 270wsm isnt a belted case. So I could head space off the shoulder after fireforming, but I F/L/ sized for a ''fresh start'' to work up loads. The brass was all fired in my rifle 2 times pryor. After the first fireing, I could still F/L size, and load for all 3. After second fireing from my rifle and resizing, no way. [/QUOTE]
