On recent loads in testing in my 300wsm, I have had some interesting fitting rounds.

I am using mostly once fired (not my rifle) Federal brass, full length sized, not trimmed as it shows within spec. When I get it in my rifle its snug (loaded with different bullets, undr mag length), and I have to push on it a little, and then use a little more then I would like to turn the bolt down where it goes.

Im not 'forcing' anything, just not being as smooth as I would like.

Ideas?

Bump shoulder back? Other than that I'm out of ideas.
