[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 1099678, member: 17593"] Guess what? That really didn't solve my problem. Sooo, I've had a good gunsmith use his eyes and after head scratching, run a reamer ever so lightly and took out maybe .001. First, we took a case and turned the rim off about .001 and it ran like it should. Went to the range, shot some that wouldn't eject, and they shot, ejected fine. Thought I was home free. Nope. So, I ran a mike on two pieces of brass. took seven measurements and can't see but one that possibly could be the culprit. The web area. It's only a little diferent, but that could make it tight enough to stick. The good says .3765 and the bad says .3775. That ain't much. So, if I have my sizer body shortened, will that size the web area more? Right now the die is making full contact with the shell holder and both cases came from it. Again, I can't figure it out. Oh, and there are two brands of brass, L.C. is good and Lapua isn't. Just two case though. I guess if I can chamber them, which they do, firing will eject them. If a live round sticks, I could either pound the ground and eject or just shoot it out. But I want sized brass to run in and out smoothly! In all my long life, I have NEVER had this un-explained problem. Could it be that sticking empty brass and letting the bolt slam foreword it sometimes "pinches" the brass ? Still, I can't find any measurements to suggest this. I could just be "crying over spilled milk" and need to just load and shoot! But I think not. [/QUOTE]
