257wby reloading

[GregT]

Hi my name is Greg and I’m new to reloading. Today I was working on reloading some once fired brass. I was very diligent on my case lengths and overall cartridge lengths. The rounds I made fit pretty tight in the chamber as I closed the bolt. I heated up one with a lighter to see where it was sticking in my rifle and this is what I found. Any insight as to what I’m doing wrong. A side note this hobby is going to grease my OCD in a terribly wicked way!
Thanks. IMG_3222.jpg

If you can turn your sizer die down alittle more and keep trying until the issue goes away. If you can’t size any more the issue will probably resolve itself once they have been fired in your gun.

Is the die adjusted to bottom on your shellholder when sizing a case?

I don't know if I'm alowed to post this here but I don't reload 257 wby but I have 40 or so once fired Nosler brass if you're interested.

I turned the die down until it ran just touched and then an 1/8 of a turn. The shell fit a bit easier but is still snug. Can the resizer die be turned down too far?

In your situation I think you will be able to turn the die down until it contacts the shell holder and resize without causing any issues.
