[QUOTE="Prairie Dog50, post: 453723, member: 29069"] I can see that what all of you guys are saying makes a-lot of sense. I forgot to mention that this is all once fired brass or brand-new full length sized brass all of which is Winchester. So please by all means correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think its the brass being too long. However somebody mentioned something about the O.A.L. of the cartridge being to long; I think this very well could be a possibility. I have noticed that when using the Hornady O.A.L. set screw type gauge the case that I bought that is drilled out in the back end and meets sammi specs seems to fit into the chamber quite tightly without any wiggle room. Because of this I might have gotten a false reading due to the fact that I thought I had jammed the bullet into the lands when in reality I didn't have the case properly seated with the O.A.L. gauge all the way into the chamber. One other question I have is when measuring O.A.L. with a bullet comparator attachment, is there a rule of thumb as to how much pressure to exert onto the calipers with my thumb??? This could be part of the problem as well. I don't push as hard as I can but I do push past the natural stopping point of the measurement. To me this is a gray area in reloading that is not often covered in the reloading manuals, so as a re-loader who is still learning I guess I'm in the dark on this one. [/QUOTE]
