[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 529422, member: 2736"] Most of the time the reason for this problem is a bolt face that is too large allowing the case to set of center. The bolt is machined and the firing pin hole is/should be, centered as well. The other thing it could be is the extractor not holding it correctly unless the firing pin hole is much larger than the firing pin. Ether way it is hard to fix without a new bolt and/or a new extractor. Try a fired case without resizing it with a primer only and see if it still hit it off center.if the chamber is large it will allow the round to set off center if they have been full length sized so the fire formed case should do better. Just a few possibilities J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
