[QUOTE="SteelBanger, post: 1884414, member: 112192"] I once had a similar issue with my .357 load but never on a rifle cartridge, have you measured the case mouth opening to ensure it is sized correctly? How is the "feel" when seating the bullets? Smooth or forced? Have you pulled a bullet to compare the where the bullet shaving occurred compared to where it sat in the case? If not I would take a completed cartridge and put a marking on the bullet and case so you can line them back up after pulling the bullet and do a careful inspection of the case to see what might have caused it. Could also add a little more chamfer and see if that helps. [/QUOTE]
