Tight bolt closing on resized brass / .223

[fguffey]

For me there is measuring the chamber length in thousandth, for everyone else there is go-gage length, no go-gage length and there is field reject length; that is three lengths out of 9 possibilities.

Again, I have a 30/06 chamber that is .016" longer than a minimum length/full length sized, factory over the counter case when measured from the shoulder of the chamber to the bolt face. That is a lot of clearance, the rifle is not rare, the experts blame the problem on one smith. So? Rather than act like a school child I figured 'what it was' they did not understand. He was better off without them.

Rem?
The click is from the .200 line, needed a SB die for my 6br it started to develop it after about the 4th load. It was faint and the SB die reeled it in. It can get away from you, I've had brass i trashed, running it too hard and couldn't get it back in spec.

I have a 45acp die that is lightly honed inside. It sizes the base on my br perfectly!

The click

Or is it the snap? And then there is the base of what? My shell holders have a deck height of .125". that makes it impossible to sized the case head because of the .125" deck height plus the radius of the die. I have small base dies, I have measured the difference between small base dies and common ordinary everyday dies. I can make better use of a feeler gage than I can with a small base die.
