[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1094132, member: 5219"] It is not uncommon to find the headspace different enough that brass from one rifle won't fit another rifle. As for virgin brass fitting each rifle, the brass is sized smaller by the factory than what you can do with your standard FL die. This is a very common practice. FL size the brass just enough to fit each rifle as Magnum Maniac said. Instead of buying a second FL die once you figure out where to adjust the FL die for one rifle use a feeler gauge to determine the exact gap between the end of the die and the shell holder. Do same procedure for other rifle. If you have to make contact with shell holder then write that down. Or camming the setup etc. When you go to size for either rifle adjust to the feeler gauge and then try one in chamber. It may require a slight tweak tighter but it saves you a ton of time with the trial and error approach to a proper fit. The main thing is that you must keep the brass separate for each rifle.
