[QUOTE="BillyGoatGruff, post: 868179, member: 63346"] FYI, problem solved.... I stopped at Sportsman's warehouse and picked up a few extra shell holders to send to SidecarFlip to have him surface grind a few thousandths off as he had offered. For ***** and grins I picked up a couple Hornady. Been using RCBS. I grabbed a case that I checked and made sure did not chamber in the rifle. Then measured it. .126". Sized it with the RCBS shell holder, Bumped the shoulder back to .120" Checked in rifle again, still did not fit as I had suspected. The problem that started this whole thread. I need to be .119" or less. My fired cases are measuring about .119"-.1195" Put the Hornady shell holder in and sized it again. Checked it in the rifle and sure as **** it fit!! Measured it and the shoulder was bumped back to .115" So, a simple shell holder change has solved all my headaches from the past two weeks. Did not change the die adjustments. Just the shell holder. Press seemed to cam over with the same resistance as before. The Hornady shell holder must just be .005" shallower. Don't care what the difference is just that's it fixed. I would like to thank all you guys for chiming in with suggestions and recommendations. SidecarFlip, Thanks for offering to surface grind my shell holders. I need to follow up with some different brass to verify that everything is good. So I may call upon you in the future. Thanks again. Thanks everybody BGG [/QUOTE]
