[QUOTE="JAYgs8163, post: 1982554, member: 37460"] Hi guys, I need some help. I’ve been reloading for about 8 years now. I’ve run into something that’s got me totally frustrated. It’s happened a couple of times and I’ll be damned if I can figure out what it is.So I just prepped some once fired Norma 7 mag brass. Resized. Trimmed to length and chamfered with VLD trimming bit. Checked length and everything is perfect. Put in my 7 mag Hornady case gauge and fits perfect. I then charged the case and seated a 180 Berger VLD. The problem I have is after seating the bullet the round is not fitting into the case gauge. See pics below. The first 2 pics show the brass only in the case gauge and the last 2 are the completed round. I’ve had a similar situation recently with a 6.5 Creedmoor. It makes me think I’m not resizing the brass properly. I only full length resize all of my brass. I’m using Redding Master Hunter series dies. I also have a set of Lee and I got the same results. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
