[QUOTE="Dogface369, post: 2067250, member: 115361"] As others have said it is usually because of the chamber of the gun you are reloading for. Bolt guns were seldom a problem. I reloaded for a few guys who had Remington 760 pumps and 742 autoloaders. I always used the small base die for those in both 30/06 and 308 to prevent any chambering problems while in the field or hunting. Not all but some of those guns have tight chambers and the pump / auto action does not provide have enough mechanical advantage to lock the bolt. Most of the 7.62 brass I have now was fired in rifles. Years ago most had been fired in MGs. The small base die brought it back closer to the original dimensions. After that I used the regular die or neck sized depending on the rifle I was loading for. [/QUOTE]
