[QUOTE="winmag, post: 432620, member: 22166"] I think you may have solved your own problemb with your shell holder theory. Some will argue that if all the rounds have only been fired in your rifle then it couldnt be too big to fit, but I disagree, because its happened to me personally. When using multiple shell holders, some combos work, some dont. I have a Hornady press, various RCBS shell holders, and Redding dies, and have run into this very problemb. I solved it by using a .015 shim under the brass in order to size it untill I could get the "proper thickness" shell holder, and mark it for that specific rifle Im loading for. I now have a gold mark on my 270wsm die and shell holder, a black mark on my dads die and shell holder, and a smudge of red paint on my cousins set. All 3 will work with my rifle, but only the mached pair will work in either of thiers. (all using thier own brass). Dont throw away good brass. Try a shim and test fit the brass to your chamber first. I look forward to reading the advise that others give. [/QUOTE]
