[QUOTE="Loner, post: 436507, member: 24560"] I went through it on a rechambered job on a 22-250. Called all the die makers and found the Forester's were just a tad (about .0002) smaller than the others. My cases were sticking just above the web like yours and I had a lot of brass. The gunsmith used a new reamer. By the time I could get the rounds to chamber they were so short at the shoulder they would nearly separate when fired. So back to the gunsmith, He opened it up with a different reamer but also cut the shoulder a tad more. Now it was too long. Off to another gunsmith, He set the barrel back .011 more and corrected the chamber with another reamer. Everything is fine now. So if you show the rub mark, (shiny spot) on the side of the case I don't think setting the shoulder back more will help. Size a new case fired from that chamber and see if the current die setting will size it properly. [/QUOTE]
