[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1273142, member: 28965"] Reloader222 Don't take this the wrong way but masking tape would not fix the problem when the OP could not get the bolt closed on a full length resized case. A fired case from the same rifle would rechamber without effort, and after full length resized it would not chamber. I bought a .270 right after I got out of the service in 1973 and my RCBS FL die worked fine. My uncle had a custom .270 made in Czechoslovakia. And "his" fired cases sized in my RCBS full length die would not fit. I brought his rifle home and ended up buying another shell holder and lapping .005 off the top to get the cases to chamber. Below is a good illustration of what happens when full length resizing and the effects on a fired case. And even a simple Wilson case gauge would have told the OP what the problem was with cartridge headspace. Also only two case gauges I know of also check case diameter. I load for three different AR15 rifles and use a JP Enterprize case gauge to check my resized cases and loaded rounds. This gauge is made with a finish reamer and also checks case diameter, and Wilson and Dillon gauges do not. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/wm05ArY.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
