I am experiencing a problem with reloading for my 7x64 (a fairly new aquisition) in that all my reloaded ammo needs an extra downward pressure on the rifle bolt lever when chambering each round. When chambering a round the bolt moves forward sliding the cartridge out of the magazine into the chamber normally and the initial locking movement starts normally but the last centimetre or two that the bolt lever needs to move downward is against pressure not experienced when chambering a factory round. (Chambering factory ammo chambers perfectly.) The brass of my cartridges are cut to length, the over all length is shorter than the factory ammo (there is no contact by the bullet on the rifling landing), the resizing and bullet seating is done with the cartridge holder touching the die.
The shooting and spent cartridge extraction is normal - Grouping is good, no pressure problems evident.
I'm convinced that my reloads are simply larger than my chamber indicating a problem with my dies.(the dies are brand new +- 200 rounds) Is there something I'm overlooking ?
Is it possible that the dies that I'm using are incompatible with the make of my gun ?
