[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 909422, member: 11717"] Correct, with the die all the way down onto the shell holder you are getting the loosest sizing. Sooo... either your die or your chamber is out of spec. I have just recently had to deal with this myself. What I did was to continue to screw the die down so now you have to cam over to make a full stroke. Continue same process as above until you have an easy chamber case. At this piont you have a few options. Rechamber the barrel. Lap down the bottom of the die, or Lap off the top of the shell holder. I like my shell holders to be uniform in the event they need to be used for other cartridges or dies, so I had the bottom of my sizing die machined down a few thou. [/QUOTE]
