[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1571562, member: 41338"] See if an empty/resized case will chamber. Assuming your good there, sizing isn't an issue. If your concerned your bullet is touching the lands, it will show rifling marks on the bullet where it's engaging the rifling. Chances are it's not even close to the rifling. Two other things may be causing your problem. [LIST=1] [*]Your primer is not fully seated or for some reason that primer isn't compatible. [*]Your powder is to compressed causing bulging of the case. It's happened to me with soft Nosler brass. [/LIST] You can isolate both of these issues by loading a bullet in an empty case (no powder/no primer) and see if it chambers. FWIW, I always full-length size because I like things to work. [/QUOTE]
