[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 2144756, member: 77249"] A cartridge not wanting to chamber when loaded could be one of several things. Size a case and try just the case with primer. If the bolt closes proper. Then load with powder and bullet and try with bullet seated, Coat bullet with magic marker to check for jamming bullet in throat. If you used a loaded factory round to set the seating die. You may have the die turned to far into the press, Most RCBS seating dies have crimping shoulder in neck of die. If the case neck is hitting the crimping shoulder with no matching canular on the bullet, Could be the problem. If the crimping shoulder hits the case neck with no canular on bullet it will swell the case at the body shoulder junction and will cause chambering problems. Some old Sako rifles have very tight chambers, I have a 1962 era Sako. I have never found but one sizing die that would size a cartridge fired in another to fit the chamber. Good Luck in finding the problem and a quick cure. [/QUOTE]
