[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1698091, member: 104268"] I had the same issues with the Lyman, which is actually what made me try the Dillon. I'm leaning towards the advice about the cam over clearance. First, I'll try going back to the Lyman, and taking a few thousandths off the top of the shell holder. If that solves the problem, I'll consider buzzing the bottom of the die down a couple thousandths. Using the Dillon for brass prep is just too dang convenient to abandon if I can avoid it, and I've had good success in other calibers. It's plausible that my headspace on the 300WM is relatively short for the dies, as I installed the Shilen barrel with as little I could get away with. The Shilen leaves the shoulder 0.002" - 0.006" shorter on fired brass compared to the old barrel and a couple of buddies' rifles. [/QUOTE]
