Started loading for a new to me 300WSM today, using once fired Hornady nickel plated cases, 200gr ELD-X and brand new RCBS dies.
I ran cases through the full length sizer per RCBS instructions, and the first bullet I seated shaved copper something fierce and took quite some force to seat. I then chamfered all cases which did help with the shavings, although it didn't go away completely, and the amount of force required to seat the bullets was more than double that of what I'm used to loading for my .270 win.
Can anyone help with what might be going on here??
