[QUOTE="alarcher, post: 2041495, member: 115393"] Thanks for all the input guys. Rather than reply to each I’ll reply here and update you all on what I’m finding. -this is brand new brass. All measuring at 1.910 or a thou under. -when I chamber an UNFIRED round I DO get some minimal swipe. Not as bad as a fired case but it is there. -when I try and rechamber a fried case it is very very difficult. Upon extraction the case head shows another very bad swipe. -for kicks I tried to chamber a fired piece of Hornady brass. This was fired before they switched out the barrel. Same result. Excessive swipe regarding backing down the charge: I started it at 39gr which appears to be close to the min charge with this setup. Also my velocity is just over 2600 anything lower than that doesn’t seem feasible to me. I don’t think this is an hot load issue but As Forrest Gump said “I am not a smart man. in over my head here so any thoughts you guys have are greatly appreciated. Thanks!! [/QUOTE]
