The small base die probably won't fix it, your chamber is too tightTikka's seem to do this about the 3rd or 4th firing with warm loads and ADG brass. I'm guessing on your brass just because I have experienced the exact same thing. Next firing it's going to be worst. I have 100 pieces of ADG 6.5 saum brass that only has 3 firings on it that I retired because of this same issue.
I started into a new box of brass and backed off on the load to see if it would last longer without clicking. My gunsmith buddy cut down a extra die I had to make a small base die. Jury is still out on that, I think I need to have him take even more off of it. I tried 10 cases thru it with what we thought was adequate sizing and still got clickers.
