[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2250471, member: 61747"] I don't believe the dies are designed to run 5315-532 intentionally. They are just not designed to address the adg type brass with a thick web and reduce that area or they are not sizing down the case far enough. If you shave a shell holder you can get a bit more but then run the risk of too much set back. I think the flaw out there is the understanding that the general die is not undersizing enough with multiple fired brass. Were dies based off the saami spec and they assumed this was going to work or did they test hornady brass in their dies and determined it worked? My redding comp dies and hornady die will only get me to 5315 on 4-5x. It's just not enough on that 533 chamber. If that 5315 is not enough for the 535 chamber then this problem isn't going away with just a reamer, it will require a custom die too. So at this point running 530 in a 533 I'm not seeing any issues with current level of reloading. Are you suggesting if I open the chamber with the aw2 I can run more charge? I am not unhappy with my rifles performance, just wondering if that is what you meant? [/QUOTE]
