[QUOTE="Laelkhunter, post: 1304556, member: 38154"] Pics of that chamber reminds me of a rifle I had years ago, an H&K model 91. It had flutes in the chamber that made extraction easier, but it ruined the cases, making resizing virtually impossible. Great for a battle rifle when you want flawless performance, but not so desirable in a rifle that will be used for hunting, and reloading the brass is a necessity. I was able to resize the cases, but it took a little extra time. I had to unscrew the sizing die about half-way, then insert the lubed case into it by raising the ram. I then lowered the ram removing the case from the die. I then screwed the die down about two turns, then raised the ram again with the shell case being sized a little more. I did this until the case was completely resized, but it took about 60 seconds to resize each case. A major PITA. I quit reloading for it. I hope you can get some satisfaction in your situation. You can always reload your brass using the time consuming method I mentioned above, but with a $3000 rifle, you demand and deserve perfection. Should be no other way. Good luck [/QUOTE]
