What I discovered today is that I have to set the Redding small base .308 sizing die all the way down to "cam over" depth in order to get the the case head barely small enough to chamber. This results in the shoulder being bumped back more than necessary.
There are a few variables in play but if you have a case that is sized “small” or “under” that would mean it’s towards the minimum specifications. If you are also shoving the shoulder back “too far”, you realize that you should stop doing that.
Going from just the OP.

Any ideas on how I can solve this?
I would stay away from brass not shot from that rifle, to narrow your focus, for that rifle or get some head space gauges and see if it needs to be fixed.
