[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 392384, member: 13833"] I had a similar problem with my ultra and have heard of several others. My guess is that the dies aren't sizing the case down enough at the expansion ring. They will chamber ok but don't have sufficient clearance to allow for extraction. Outside of buying custom dies, I never could get more than three firings before chucking my cases. Factory "unfired" brass will have approx. .005-.006" clearance. Mine would work if I started with .001" under chamber size but after firing a couple of times, the web area would only clear approx. .0005. I tried three different manufacturers and NONE would size past that. Check your cases at the expansion ring and see if this is the case? I strongly suspect that it is.......Rich [/QUOTE]
