[QUOTE="Innovative, post: 613499, member: 527"] Loner ........ Grinding down your shellholder allows your sizing die to push the case shoulder back too far. When your problem is excessive case WIDTH, this does nothing to help your handloads fit better. [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=4][I]Here's what happens when you push the shoulder more than [B].[/B]002"[/I][/SIZE][/FONT] [I][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=4][/SIZE][/FONT][/I] When your round is fired, the brass stretches even farther as it expands to fit the chamber. This cumulative stretching (at each firing) thins your brass until it is paper thin. This thinned brass makes is even easier to bulge during the reloading process. Your cases still won't chamber; and if they do, you'll experience case head separations.

It was stretched (after 3 firings) until it became dangerously thin. It's always best to "measure" your cases, to determine [B]why[/B] your handloads don't fit. [/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
