[QUOTE="Just a hunter, post: 2665700, member: 112197"] Okay, so I don't know exactly what I did that fixed it but so far so good. I cleaned my die with brake cleaner and wiped it out the best I could. Scoped the die and don't see anything obvious. I've not lubed anything above the shoulder. I'm going slowly to allow the brass time to relax and form. It's hard as crap to bring the case back out of the die but it goes in easy. Thought I was going to stick a couple but haven't yet. I scoped the chamber of the rifle also and didn't see anything that looked out of place there. I have a bigger problem now though, the extractor broke. The rifle was built on a Bergara action and has the Savage style extractor. My gunsmith has an extra extractor and is going to swap it out in the morning for me so I can hunt with it this week. I appreciate everyone's help. [/QUOTE]
