[QUOTE="EXPRESS, post: 1098478, member: 1441"] Ok; the brass is new Norma brand, fired once in my rifle, and resized once with new Forster FL dies. I do't have any other dies or brass for this caliber. It seems like the solution might be to get a collet die, but what I can't get my head around is that the collet die is supposed to be used after FL sizing, so it won't save the brass from being shaved. There is no noticeable or visible bulge in the cases. This, to me is weird, I reload for 7mm rem mag .300win mag, .300wby .375H&H .458win .458 Lott .416 rem - a total of 7 belted mag calibers, the .375 .458 ammo all going through 5 different rifles, all with no problems. I'm starting to suspect that it might be the die that is too tight at the base, and that the brass and chamber are fine... [/QUOTE]
