[QUOTE="parshal, post: 1303391, member: 605"] I just chambered two 6.5 WSMs with the same reamer. I had another rifle chambered with the reamer and that once-fired won't fit into the chamber of the other two. I have another 6.5 chambered with a different reamer and that once-fired fits fine. When I chamber one that doesn't fit I get marks in the same place as yours. I measured that brass and it's ~.003" larger above the web than the brass that fits. I have to push the shoulder back further to get them to fit. But, again, it makes marks in the same place on the brass as yours when I resize it enough to get it to fit. I'd say it's stretch marks on the brass. As someone else said polishing the chamber with some sandpaper isn't going to hurt anything so you can easily try that. If it's still there it's brass stretching. As Edd posted, measure the length on the shoulder rather than the OAL at the case mouth. See how much your shoulder is moving forward. [/QUOTE]
