   This is definitely a problem often overlooked. If you cant get a small base die, then giving the web of the case a rub with fine emery paper will overcome the problem

   Interesting thoughts of yours re: the concept of the decapping ball pulling the shoulder on the up-stroke, I was having this problem with 1/10 rounds with .270WSM using Lee dies, and thought I must...

   Yip, FL size them and try the resized case in the chamber before you load it. Believe it or not, not all dies, FL or NS are created equally. So a RCBS die might resize to just a minimal dimension...

   Without more information, the most likely reason is the cases were fired first in another rifle, that has a slightly larger chamber than the new rifle. If so, they should be full length sized as...

   The issue is almost certainly the bottom of the case (head/ web area) has expanded to fully reach the chamber dimensions. If FL sizing doesn't fix the problem without shifting the shoulder too much (...

   most are solved by winding the FL die down a little more lubing the expander ball or inside the case necks should help that firm lift. I forget that old dies dont need it and new dies kind of...

    Unclear if the once fired cases were fired in the new rifle/chamber. I'm guessing not. Need to FLS. Check trim to length. Try before loading (should do that as part of FLSing process at any rate....

    Yep, stop just neck sizing. FL them everytime, its the only way you can keep case dimensions consistent each and every time. If that case has been fired in a different chamber that will be the...

    You will need full length resize those cases next time round, if you have just been neck sizing them. If you can close the bolt on them they will be fine too shoot, in fact a tight fit will make...
