[QUOTE="slikmrc, post: 2185011, member: 116436"] I load for 2 300 WBY's, x2 fired case measure 2.393 and 2.394 measured with a .420 Hornady comparator. With my current die a hard cam sized case measures 2.375 for a .019 shoulder bump. My last batch of new WBY brass avg measured 2.373 so this die is darn close to factory spec as would be expected. I have the die set at 3.5 thousands now as these are rounds loaded for hunting and I like 3.5 to 4 thou for a little clearance. I'm using a Co-Ax press and don't have to cam the press to get my bump. You could be having a brass issue or maybe your chamber and die specs aren't compatible. If you have been loading for this rifle for a while and now are having problems I would start looking at the brass. On a side note, looks like Peterson is building Weatherby brass! I'm trying to find somewhere to order it. [/QUOTE]
