[QUOTE="dsculley, post: 1693324, member: 77514"] To the OP: Take a fired piece of brass before you do anything and see if it will chamber. If this fired, untouched brass will chamber then something in your process is causing the problem. Process the brass one step at a time and carefully measure the brass after each step. Try it in the chamber after every step until you find that the bolt will not close. This is the step that is causing the issue. Assess the process and devise a plan of action. Could be that when you neck size the die is pulling the shoulder out a bit. If the brass is fully fire-formed any outward movement of the shoulder would cause an issue. [/QUOTE]
