[QUOTE="winmag, post: 834360, member: 22166"] Another bit of food for thought It's not uncommon for brass from one rifle to not fit in another (which you already know, as per "no new brass available") but if your dies are properly FL sizing the brass it shouldn't matter. So my next guess would be a lube issue? Not quite enough so it's getting hung up in the die? Might try just barely lubing the inside rim of the case neck to see if it prevents the expander ball getting partially hung up & stretching the brass back out on the up stroke? You'd have to scrub it all out again, but... Wild *** Guess but worth a shot at this point. I'm still betting the paper shim will allow full re-sizing & it'll fit tho. Not a permanent fix, but it can tell you if you have err on your shell holder if your bumping the dies on the up stroke when it cams over. At least you'll be able to identify the problems. Ps. I Love anything 270, 30, & 338, but have a severe hatred for anything 7mm. So putting myself in your shoes, & pretending it was a 7mm I'd be throwing a tantrum by now. So I understand fanning the fire with problems on a cartridge you dislike. Strange how we all develop a fondness or hatred of certain cartridges huh. Makes it hard to accept its not the cartridges fault. There's an issue somewhere, you've just gotta find it, & fix it. Keep us posted. I'd like to see what you find out. [/QUOTE]
