[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 910327, member: 17844"] It's possible you have a small base body die and you don't actually need it . It's possible you are using bad case lube . It's possible your die is dirty or gumed up with dried protective lube. It's possible your case is not actually clean . Even though a case can look clean it can have lots of tarnish on it that will increase friction markedly . Adjust the die so the sizing is done with the ram at the very top of it's travel where leverage is the greatest . Without a gauge it is benificial to size the tight case a bit at a time until the bolt just closes with some resistance then turn the die down a further 1/16 of a turn where it should then chamber easy .
