[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2143475, member: 63925"] [B][U]So OP help us to help you:[/U][/B] [LIST=1] [*]Is the brass new? Doesn't sound like it if you cleaned it. [*]Is the brass from this rifle or from another rifle? If from another rifle or you bought x-fired brass from someone the brass has to be resized such the shoulder is pushed back at least 0.003 and then do test feed to see if it will cycle in [B][U]YOUR[/U][/B] rifle. [*]Even if from your rifle, set back the shoulder 0.003 and test feed the brass to insure you are adequately headspacing the load. [*]How many firings on this brass?

[*]Hornady or Sinclair comparator will certainly help you see the shoulder push back easier as well as to establish bullet jump to reasonable extent. [*]Consider Redding Competition shellholders that truly help control shoulder setback by their machining of 0.002 off for each shellholder you can pick. This really takes the measurement voodoo out of twisting the FL die for you. [*]If you do not have the experience of loading near the lands, DON'T!
