[QUOTE="Tidesloe, post: 3025042, member: 47761"] So I got out yesterday and fired some more rounds, and today I took more careful measurements, and notes. I'm not at home near my notes at the moment, but I can tell y'all what I found. I pretty much knew this a few days ago but waited to get a chance and confirm my suspicions. This has all been my fault. I ignored a reloading 101 basic, and actually thought that my extractor couldn't possibly cause that much resistance, but it is. I was tunnel visioning on more complex answers and overlooked the basics and the obvious. I don't know how you save face on that, and maybe you can't, but just come out and own up to a glitch in my thought process. 🤣 The extractor comes to a point, pushing the case off center. It looks like it's wearing in a little, and seems to be not quite as bad. Regardless, with the extractor removed, I'm still having to bump the shoulders .0035 to chamber with no resistance. I believe .003 might chamber cleanly, but without micro adjust dies I can't hit it exact. I'm pretty sure the shoulder is where it's contacting on fired rounds. With the extractor, and I saw evidence of it last weekend it's pushing the case against the chamber wall. That's it in a nutshell, and I own you all an apology for wasting your time. On the bright side, I learned a lot from you guys responses. It'll definitely benefit me going forward, and I appreciate all the help. Thanks guys! [/QUOTE]
