[QUOTE="thatguyshm, post: 834367, member: 69989"] So I grabbed a fresh case from my tumbler, loaded into the Ruger and it slid in easy as pie. I took it out, lubed inside and out with Imperial wax, sized the case and it was a no go. So then, on a whim, I lubed the case itself and slid it into the firearm, wax all over the case. Turned in almost as easy as the factory case. I'm not the brightest bulb in my living room right now, I have a 40watter flicking across the way. But I'm assuming this is a shoulder problem. Next step I'm going to do is to grind down the bottom of the die so I can maybe bump back the shoulder. I am getting to about .010" from the neck, and am thinking perhaps this may solve some of the issues. It is funny though, as I love my 7mm. Its easy to load and shoots great. I love my 6.8 as well, same cal as the 270, but I just want to take a torch to this Ruger 270. So I will grind down the die. I just tried the shim method and that didn't work. I appreciate all the help. I just know I'll be bald by the time this is over, pulling out ALL my hair. Seth [/QUOTE]
