QUESTION: IS THERE DIE THAT WILL TOTAL FULL LENGTH RESIZE A CASE?
Dilemma: I have a new 270 Win with a minimal chamber. It will handle factory ammo and new factory brass fine, but only about 10% of cases full length resized in both RCBS and Lee dies (and three different shell holders). The other 90% are lightly snug to not closing at all. Smoking the cases indicates the problem lies in the part of the case not able to enter the resizing die, ie, the part covered by the shell holder.
I could only use new brass, but since I help develop loads for my friends, I hate to develop the loads in my rifle, then ruin my cases in their rifle. And if I use their cases, I can't develop them in my rifle at my leisure.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance, Catpop
