In the cases where I have a chamber that is noticeably tighter than its peers that rifle is the more accurate of them as well.


There's nothing wrong about doing that. Up side is you don't have to pay much attention to the ammo box's. That the way factory ammo is made, one size fit's all!

Have several 06,s one with a very tight chamber. I went to the range several years ago and ended up with a stuck loaded round in the tight chamber. Dont care to repeat that ever again.

If I had only factory chambers I would go the one universal load route, but I don't so I have to keep all brass dedicated for each rifle. I am a fan of the Lee Collet die but now I bump all hunting rounds with a bump or body die. This makes life easier especially with rifles with minimal extraction power like my 1885. I anything I think my ammo is more uniform with this just a kiss of the bump die, brass lasts just as long and ammo always chambers.
