[QUOTE="Mickp7, post: 3061882, member: 122253"] I just went through basically this same thing... once fired brass was hardly changed compared to factory (Lapua brass). Since they chambered fine, I used the Eric Cortina tape trick to compare my shoulder to the chamber. I can't find the video, but put scotch tape on the casing base, roll the edges on a hard surface, then peel the excess tape off the perimeter of the base. Then measure it in your comparator and see how it chambers. It will likely be very tight or won't chamber, giving you a better idea of where your shoulder is in relation to your chamber. I am new to this so take my suggestion accordingly! [/QUOTE]
