I set up my die to FL resize some 300 win mag brass.....what I normally do is to adjust the die til it touches the shellholder,and then give it a quarter of a turn,worked great in the past.....
Tonight I did exactly the same thing,but when I was chambering the brass to see for a test fit,I noticed the bolt face was smearing the brass on the headstamp as ya closed the bolt handle down....I figured that it wasn't moving the shoulder back far enuff,am I correct possibly?
I adjusted the die bit by bit afterwards and got it to where the bolt would close without any noticeable resistance...the die is now set about a bit more than half of a turn down further once it makes contact with the shellholder..does this sound right?
I have never had this before and was curious as to what may be going on.....all brass is 1x fired Winchester
