So I am new to reloading after having wanted to do it for years. I am very happy with my setup. I am using a Forster Co-Ax and RCBS precision dies. Right now I am sticking to reloading my .30-06 and have been enjoying it tremendously.
Here comes the problem...
I have been doing a full resize on my cases after cleaning them and lubing to make sure everything measures correctly. My rifle has no problem chambering the rounds. I have a friend who I decided to do some reloads for and when he tried to chamber them they got stuck. The rounds are not to long, they are too wide. On closer examination I am seeing the tiniest little warping in the bottom 3rd of the case. It seems his older .30-06 has tighter tolerances than mine does. I am thinking I am doing something wrong when I am resizing my cases.
My order of events are as follows:
1. Lube the cases
2. De-prime and full resize
3. Clean the cases
4. Measure case and trim and de-burr if necessary
5. Prime
6. Powder
7. Seat Bullet
I am thinking my issue is in the resize or the bullet seating...has anyone run into something like this before and do you have any advice?
Thanks for your help!
