[QUOTE="338weatherby, post: 2289831, member: 114213"] I am not able to get my shoulder to move on my 7x57AI. I’ve got fire formed brass that is twice fired. Went to the range and the loads are as I remember last. Shoot nice and tight, small groups. Some rounds are tighter to chamber when closing bolt. I had 3 that I couldn’t close the bolt on. I pulled the bullets on those three and checked all my remaining rounds for chambering. All chambered with a couple a little tighter then I’d like. I took one of the pieces that wouldn’t chamber and ran it through the FL sizing die. Got it to close but WAY too much effort. I then swapped the shell holder with the .008 Redding holder and no change, went to the .004 again no change. Tried the .002 and still no change. I then noticed that the die seems to move up in the press when I’m cammed over. The Hornady bushing seems to give a little. I threaded the die down slightly more and now I’ve got a case stuck with the rim tore off. I cant figure why it wasn’t bumping the shoulder and then got stuck? This case was through the die multiple times and shouldn’t have gotten stuck. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
