Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Hard to Chamber - Not Obvious Why - Ideas?

Compressed powder charges? Compare internal volumes with known easy chambering samples?

It's a Mauser..are you feeding them from the mag or dropping them on the plate and trying to push feed them?

Minimum chamber dimensions on new rifle. Max. dimensions on sizing die, and max chamber on the rifle cartridges were originally fired in.

Brass is not being sized down enough in the body of the case. This is a common problem when using brass fired in another rifle.

Try to borrow another die from someone. By chance, you might get a die with Min. dimensions and can use the brass.
