[QUOTE="cajun, post: 3076143, member: 9772"] There are tolerances in chambers, brass and dies. Sometimes these things can stack up and work against you. Typically brass will be at or below minimum chamber spec so that it will chamber in a tight chamber. Dies are usually the same. They want to size to min spec so you can resize your brass and it will chamber. I have never seen new brass that would not chamber so if I was the op I would talk to the brass maker. Having to size it back a little is not a deal breaker but should not be necessary. If he has a tight chamber and the brass is over Min spec maybe. I have seen occasionally where a guy has a tight chamber and the die is over spec a bit and it will not size the brass so it chambers. Rare but does happen. In my case I had a belted mag which are notoriously short because they are set off the belt from the factory. Not uncommon to have .010 shoulder growth on the first firing. Slightly long chamber and min spec die and you get .014 shoulder bump. Single shot also so bolt feel was not an option. [/QUOTE]
