I need you guys' help again. I loaded some rounds up to hunt deer with and was going to the range to try them out. I am a new reloader and was excited to try and kill a deer with my handloads. I get to the range and load my rifle. It is a Weatherby Vangaurd in .30-06. I chamber a round and the bolt won't close. It chambers, but won't close. I'm thinking it wasn't sized correctly. Does this sound right? Also, the cases were once fired, so I didn't measure or trim the cases. I'd heard you shouldn't have to with once fired stuff. Maybe I heard wrong. Help me out please.
Factory rounds worked fine and I ended up shooting factory ammo on opening day. I have no complaints, the Remington 165 grain core locked performed perfectly, taking a decent six point at 175 yds. I was a little bummed that I didn't get to use a handload, but oh well. With you guys' help, I'll get to next time.
