[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1571710, member: 41338"] Yup, you can figure it out by a process of elimination. Try a new, empty case. If that chambers, full length size it. If that chambers, load a bullet (no powder or primer). If that chambers, put a primer in it and see if that chambers. If it does, immediately pull the bullet and resize the case so it doesn't find it's way back with real cartridges. Then make a real cartridge and see if it chambers. Shoot it, resize, reload and see if that works. Assuming all that worked, throw out that old brass that was messing you up. As others have mentioned, using somebody else's once-fired brass in a belted case can jimmy up the process, as a lot of dies don't resize all the way down to the belt. Snag you some new brass and start anew. [/QUOTE]
