[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 1818959, member: 12"] Ok, start over. DO NOT set the die to the shellholder. That is to take the case back to SAAMI and might be pushing the shoulders back too far and the shoulder junction pushes out. I have seen that. Start off the shellholder one turn( that is the way hornady recommends for max accuracy and case life in their videos) and size one case, measure and see if it chambers. Move the die about 1/16 turn and resize new case. You need to work back down. Now if that is not the fix then die is too long and have smith take about .015 off the bottom. It can only be about 3-4 things. Key is measuring what you are doing and seeing what is moving if at all. 1. Case is too long, trim. 2. Pushing shoulders out due to pushing the shoulders back too far. 3. Case body about .250 above rim is not being sized enough. You need about .001-.002 here. 4. Die is too long. [/QUOTE]
