Sat down today to figure out the coal length for my 22-250 in order to set up new RCBS Comp dies I got for Christmas. I have never reloaded the 22-250. Knowing that the case is tapered I noticed that the case will not go all of the way into the die. There is a quarter of an inch gap between the shell holder and the die. Eventhough I set the die up for touching the shell holder plus one quarter of a turn.
I created a mock round with coal needed and loaded this dummy round into my rifle. This is when I found that she does not like it very well. The bolt is very hard and will not full close. I think it has to do with that last quarter of an inch that is not being sized. The sizer die is a FL even though I wanted a neck sizer.
Now let me tell you about the rifle. It is a Remington 700 that I would call a baby Sendero cause that what it looks like. When I purchased it the barrel had been replaced with a Douglas barrel. Atleast that what I was told, I can tell it is not a factory barrel. On the side of the barrel all that is stamped is 22-250. I thought there was possibility that it is a 22-250 AI, but a factory round slides in the same depth if the die.
What do you think????
Thank you for any help
