[QUOTE="30BR, post: 1685345, member: 64079"] Just had another thought after looking at the fired cases... Do you have a[URL='https://www.whiddengunworks.com/product/case-gauge-3/'] tool to check the brass headspace[/URL]? Do you know how much you are setting the shoulders back? New brass will always be short, and I like to soft pedal the first firing to fireform. The new brass looks like it grew quite a bit at the shoulder. If your chamber is on the long side, and you are resizing down to hit the die on the shellholder, it might be a tad too short and could be a contributing factor. If you don't have a gauge, take the firing pin and ejector out of the bolt, and start resizing a fired case ever so slightly, and trial fitting it. the bolt handle should flop right down, unimpeded. Keep sizing until that happens, and lock the die down at that point. [/QUOTE]
