[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 705697, member: 5219"] As a control remove the sizer ball and size. If you are partial full length sizing by setting the die so it doesn't touch the shell holder you just haven't moved it close enough to the shell holder. As the FL die is adjusted downwards at some point it will actually make the brass a worse fit than the fired case.(the die is dealing with the body taper and hasn't moved the shoulder back) All that is required is to continue to move the die down in partial turns till the die also bumps the shoulder. Do this till the sized brass fits the chamber to your satisfaction. There is a possibility if you are now touching the shell holder that the brass is still not sized enough. I have had a few barrels chambered by my gunsmith that were right on the edge of having too short a chamber. Camming over the top can sometimes do the trick. I had one rifle that required some grinding of the top of the shell holder till the brass could be sized sufficiently. Shell holders are cheap, or you can buy a set of different thickness shell holders from Sinclair. I could be wrong on the cause of your problem.Give this a try. Let us know what you find. [/QUOTE]
