Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Hard chambering AFTER full length resizing!

Hi Ted
<br>
<br>I think Sheister/Stocker pegged it when they mentioned the bulge near the base.
<br>
<br>You can check to see if this is the problem, by marking a half inch in front of belt, with a magic marker. If it's enlarged here, the ink will be scraped off, when chambered.
<br>
<br>To solve this problem you can ;
<br>
<br>A. spend 95 US on the new collet die that recently come out.
<br>
<br>B. a 416 Rem die sans decap rod, will work if a tad smaller at base.
<br>
<br>C. I cut the top portion off a tight fitting .458 die that works.(ten bucks at a gun show)
<br>
<br>D. make up a short, open ended die with a tight chamber reamer.
<br>
<br>E. try a different die. Not all have the same dimensions at the base.
<br>
<br>I ran into this before, and the open ended die solved the problem, providing you chop one with a tighter base. Should work with all the magnums based on the H&H case.
<br>
<br>Good Luck
