[QUOTE="groper, post: 420160, member: 12550"] yep, the situation your in goes like this; your smith chambered your rifle with a tight headspace clearance for that cartridge, which is a good thing because you dont work your brass as much between firing and sizing. your die was cut on the deep side of the specd dimention for that cartridge and would most likely work if you had a sloppy chamber. Die makers should take notice of this, as many of us have tight chambers and face this problem, myself included. There is no reason we should be forced to grind the end of the die down to be able to bump. There is ample clearance to work with in this area between the case head and body of the case above the rim of about 150thou! - well within the limits of all headspacing possibilities. I wish they would take notice and stop selling dies like this... [/QUOTE]
