[QUOTE="can1010, post: 2008543, member: 43193"] this is the same problem the 6.5 PRC has. you can only size the brass back to the original size no matter how small the die is. Hornady 6.5 prc .529 -.530 and will not size any smaller ADG 6.5 prc .5305 - .531 and after 2-3 warm loads will only size to .5315 - .532 and you get bolt click and sticky extraction. the prc chamber is .533 you need to have a fatter chamber in the base. I have tried small base dies with no success. only option is lighter loads or custom reamer I went back to the Hornady brass because it was smaller and got 15 reloads without th problem that I was having with the ADG/Gunwerks at 5-6 reloads my opinion after dealing with this is you need .004 or more in the base for brass clearance [/QUOTE]
