[QUOTE="BillyGoatGruff, post: 866345, member: 63346"] Hey guy's, I am having an issue with my dies not bumping my shoulder back far enough. I'm having trouble with finding brass that will actually chamber in a new 7mm rem mag. I'm working with brass that has been 1-3 times fired from a previous 7mm I had. I have measured a new once fired brass in the new rifle with a Hornady head-space gauge and my chamber measures out at 2.119". I've measured some factory rounds and they measure out 2.110"-114". I have multiple kinds of brass. ( fed,win, hor) I have about a 100 feds and not a one will chamber after re-sizing. I have about 50 win's and 75 hornady's and only about 25-30 % of those will chamber after re-sizing. Dilema? why will some of the brass chamber and most not? It seems that the die is not bumping the shoulder back far enough? All the brass that fits measures under the .119" and anything over .1195" will not chamber. I have two dies and get the same results with both. A standard RCBS FL die and a RCBS FL bushing die. Both set up as far down on the press as possible without damaging the press or the die. (screwed down touching the press at TDC plus a 1/4 turn). I'm getting very frustrated. It's very dificult to work up a load when I cant get any consistency in my brass. All the brass has been trimmed to length and I've tried setting the dies up diferent with no change. I have a Larry Willis collet die and I don't believe that it is a base problem. I need help and or suggestions please Thanks, BGG [/QUOTE]
