This ^^^^^^^

My 30-06 will do this until I get the sizing die just right. I set aside all cases that wont chamber. I then set my sizing die to where they just chamber. I screw the die down a scosh (tech term), resize a couple, try them, adjust accordingly. A scosh can be a tiny turn on the die......

As a matter of practice, I always chamber all my hunting rounds after I size them. More than once I thought I had my die set perfect only to find 1-2 that were really tight or just wouldn't chamber. I'd like to know that tidbit before I have an animal in front of me. Chambering shells tends to spook game grin
