    Apologies in advance… Has anyone suggested to pull 5-10 rounds and "TRIM" it to length and reload it again and check if it will close/fit??? Been reading through the posts and i couldn't see anything in this line… It can be the brass is just to long and touching the chamber end before be able to fully close the bolt...

    Hope it "helps" or give some "light" to the problem...

    Very merry christmas everyone!

    Yep, Suggested pulling and trimming them earlier.

    Feliz Natal, my friend.

    Neck not sized far enough down the case!
    Any ideas about how to go forth?
    Unsized bit it 10 thou larger
    I used a 243 bushing in redding die to size originally, is it worth buying another bushing to size the bulge or do I have to pull all the pills?
