If that's the case, why is the fired brass taking so much effort to resize? Have dimensions of factory ammunition & reloads been compared? |

If I full length resize then force shell to chamber and then eject it and load it up they fine to chamber when loaded........now that right there doesnt make sense?????? |

When headspace causes the problem, why don't you try the trick they use on the Lee Enfield .303 Br? Just take a factory round, put a small rubber O-ring on its neck, chamber the round and fire. The O-ring will hold the base of the case to the bolt and your case will be fire-formed. Now do necksizing and reload this case and the round will exactly fit into your chamber. My old SA-FN (in 7x64, not in 30-06 anymore) also has a headspace problem. To cure it, one should exchange the part that locks the bolt. Instead of curing the headspace, I only did necksizing and the problem is gone, no more splitting cases. Disadvantage: my 7x64 round will not fit into another 7x64 rifle. And when this works with a semi-auto, it should also work with a lever action. Just check that you never exceed maximum caselength to avoid to much pressure. |
