I have reloaded 7mm rem Mag for my son for 15 years using Nosler 160 gr AccuBonds that group five rounds in 5/8ths inch at 100 yards in his Remington 700.
I decided to load more for this fall's hunting seasons. I sized 40 RP brass including turning to length. Before priming I decided to check for fit in an old Savage 110. The bolt wouldn't close without forcing on most and then, if it closed, wouldn't easily eject. Decided that the chamber was dirty so I really cleaned the action. Still wouldn't chamber brass easily. Checked with some factory ammo which easily chambered and worked as it should.
I actually read the Lee instructions and again tried resizing. Still no improvement. I compared sizes to SAAMI specs and they seem right. Same dies I have used before and they seem right.
Since he lives in the Bend area and I live on the coast I find it hard to try his chamber.
Any ideas? Never been a problem before and I do load many different calibers especially the last four months.
