[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1095448, member: 10755"] Sticking cases is often caused by incorrect sizing or a chamber that is eccentric. To work out if the chamber is eccentric, take a factory case and draw a straight line across the head, single feed it into the chamber carefully with the line straight up and down, fire it, remove it, rotate the line 180º and try to re-chamber it. If it's tight, then there's a good chance the chamber isn't round. If it's not tight, then perhaps you have a minimum chamber and your die is not sizing the case enough. Do you adjust your die from touching the shell holder or away from touching? Try removing your firing pin assembly, if you don't know how, youtube will have video to show you how, then adjust your die until a case chambers with the slightest feel just before it closes fully. Use a different case each time you size and adjust the die, otherwise, work hardening can give false results. Contrary to popular beliefs, some rifles have minimum chambers and the brass requires some 'cam over' to be sized correctly. Alternately, you can buy a Redding comp shellholder set that have different heights and follow their instructions to get proper case head clearance. Hope this helps. Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
