[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1498180, member: 30902"] Man I"m sorry to hear that you live in a paradise where the firearms laws are so insane you might as well be living in France or the UK. THey don't even believe the 2nd Amendment preserves anything other than the most heavily restricted privilege they may dole out as rarely and stingily as possible. What a failure of freedom and liberty not to mention basic common sense. You need to take a loaded round, minus powder of course and smoke it heavily then load it into your action and see where there is heavy wear/scraping to determine the contact points where it's binding. My suspicion would be the neck/shoulder area and that the "tension"is neck tension or possibly your brass being too long since you say it's so consistent. Take a few of your loaded rounds and measure the neck thicness several places on each of them and see what your average is, and the exteme variations. See if hose that are the largest are the tight one's, if they are you may need to turn necks. To see if they show to be too long, see if you can see any evidence of contact along the frontal edge of the mouth of the case. If ther is, your brass may be too long. While you're doing all of this take a look at the case mouths of empty cases to see if you notice any obvious differences in the thicness of the case in the neck or not pretty well competely semetrical thickness all the way around. THe way I do this is by measuring the inner diameter several places, take an average subtracked that from the outside diameter and you have your average thicness all the way through the lot. For themost consistent neck tension you want that variation between cases so you may need to throw some that are too thin out, find a good mid point and turn all of your brass to that size. Personally I like a neck loose enough I canpretty well seat the bullet by hand meaning with your fingers. then I use a " factory Crmp die and snug it just enough to ensure the bullets don't walk in the magazine . If they do, this can cause you serious issues if you ever need to slam one in the chamber quickly. Take a look at those things and then let's discuss it further. [/QUOTE]
