[QUOTE="Lovellr653, post: 2900780, member: 113949"] So I think I figured it out gents. My initial measurements taken from the shoulder were good but not precise enough. Long story short I measured my go gauge with a comparator which came to 3.227”. The brass that I couldn’t close the bolt on were (I’m guessing here since my calipers don’t read to this detail) 3.2775”-3.276”. So if my reasoning is correct, my chamber is at minimum SAMMI spec. My FL match master sizing die wasn’t able to knock back the shoulder enough. I took a couple thou off my shell holder and was able to bump the shoulders back to 3.275” and now they chamber without any resistance. I also found the first shell holder I was using wasn’t milled square and had a significantly high edge on one side. [/QUOTE]
