dented shoulders

[ericbc7]

My rifle is a tikka t3 Sporter and I have no prior messiness for this rifle. Fact is this a great Sako barrel and I plan to do my loading in future with my Forster fl dies since the seem to always work

It looks to me in the picture that the bullets are really seated out far. I don't believe that would dent the cases but would make chambering really hard. Matt

I measured carefully the distance to the lands on this factory barrel. What I think happened is my body die was pushing the neck up and my dummy round was sized with the Forster fl die. The redding body die pushed the shoulder up and made my measurements useless. I pulled all the rounds and will run em through the Forster fl die. Lesson learned

Btw thanks cat shooter for the pm, I miss your take on reloading issues. As controversial as your posts are, they make this forum interesting.

And F. Guffy thanks for the keen insight
