    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...

    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 (...

    Another thought just try and chamber an unprimed empty but sized case I have had some cases where the primer wasn't seated deep enough so if you try a sized but unprimed it can eliminate a few...

    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...

    could be too long case lenght and needing a trim could be the decapping ball pulling the shoulder forward a bit on the up stroke (too much friction and needs a bit of lube) could be that the...

    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...

    If you hit pressure with 2213 I’d think you’ll hit pressure earlier and at slower speed with 2209. If you still have case capacity with the 2213 then I’ll go for a slower powder than 2213, rather...

    The case body is basically without a taper (almost parallel), with the 140gn boat tail match projectile seated fully forward. My 6.5 Arch Imp is a little different, as I lathed the Norma case rims...
