[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 929617, member: 13632"] Sized cases fit so take a fired and not resized case and see if you can slip a bullet in it, it should slide in easily if not just fall right in. If it's real stiff or you can push it in at all you chamber has a tight neck which being factory the likely hood of that is slim but none the less check. The seating dies set up has been mentioned and would definitely do it if set up to tight. The easiest way to set up a standard die so it does not crimp is to unscrew the die quite a ways, put a resized case all the way up and screw the die down till it touches then back it of a 1/4 of a turn and lock it down. Once you know the neck is OK and the seating die is set correctly then you can concentrate on seating depth if you still have an issue but as short as you were loading them you should have been OK but you never know till you check. Unless you have a brake on the rifle and while your in the learning stages I would stick with the 150's, the ideal bullet is a 230 gr Berger for the RUM BUT it will get your attention if you fire a full load without a brake, keep it mild while you get your feet under you!!!
