I have recently gotten rid of all of my .308 rifles except for the one I just put a barrel on. I used a shilen match barrel on it. Headspace is set to an absolute minimum, but it does close on a go gauge and wont close on a no-go gauge.
That said, when I size some (but not all) of my 1x fired brass, it wont fit in the chamber. Its almost like the brass isnt getting sized down far enough or is springing back too much. My die is set down about as far is it will.. there is already considerable effort in camming over the ram.
I see it as having two options to fix this. polish off .001 at a time off the shell holder till it works consistently.. which could introduce headspace issues, OR replace my lee dies with a set of better dies.
Suggestions for dies that are known to be very good with match chambers? That full length size down to absolutely bare minimums?
