[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 1824353, member: 87371"] I have a Mauser that has the same problem. Chamber was cut by a good mechanic, but it is apparently oversize. I don't think it's a length thing -- I think the reamer wobbled a little and made the rear of the chamber too large in diameter. After I fire a cartridge I have to run the case part way into the die, take it out and add more lube, then run it all the way in. I'm planning to get the chamber re-cut one of these days as I'm pretty sure it's oversize. I tried RCBS dies, Whidden dies, and a Redding neck sizing die, but have finally figured out the RCBS dies were working as well as the other (expensive) dies. One thing you might consider: is the Lee press "springing" when you use it? Most Lee equipment I have seen is not robust enough for really heavy duty work. You might consider asking a friend with a Rockchucker press to resize a couple of pieces of brass with your dies to see if springing is an issue. [/QUOTE]
