[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 2700524, member: 109994"] Will do. I've got a correction on my measurements though. I remembered you saying something about the portion causing clickers not actually being the 0.200 line, so I went and measured again tonight. The others were from memory. 0.499 virgin, 0.500 after 4 firings in front of extractor groove Chamber 0.502 at 0.200 Resizer reamer 0.498 at .200 [B]Web area ahead of 0.200 line, probably around 0.350 line measures 0.503 fired, 0.5015-0.502 sized. 0.502 sized seems it would absolutely give me issues in my 0.502 chamber and my 0.503 fired brass shouldn't even chamber. But I've felt no extraction issues. [/B] Checked my sizer die and it's real close to 0.498 at bottom, hardly any chamfer there, and brass runs all the way in nearly to extractor groove. I've been running them 1.0 grain under first light sign of ejector mark. Wouldn't think that would be too hot and is obviously ok since primer pockets are still tight and head in front of groove hasn't gone past 0.500 yet. I think either my chamber got cut sloppily or my reamer isn't actually the dimension I specd it at. Hmmmm. I'll have to keep going on this brass to see if I run into issues. I guess it's not a problem as long as it's working. A little perturbed though that it seems my chamber isn't what I thought it was. [/QUOTE]
