    I had same issue, rather than grinding/filing dies/shellholders etc until confirming where issue lay's i made a shim from the side of a coke can, after de-capping then resize with shim inside shellholder raising case to present closer to die, worked perfect

    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.
