WSSM Shell Holders

[spclark]

Just started messing with a 6.5 WSSM. Got lots of new 25 WSSM brass in the deal for the rifle.

Seems one new case in ten varies a bit too much on the plus side of specs to fit the Lee #5 shell holders I use in my Sinclair neck turning and priming tools.

Is there another option for a shell holder that'll take these cases, or those I've fired that (all too likely) have grown half a thousandth at the extractor groove & thus not likely to fit next time I go to prime them?

OR, do I look to taking a little off the shell holders, where the fatter cases tend to not want to go?

All suggestions welcome....

I would try grinding with a dremel and take alittle off the inside diameter and I mean alittle.If it fails try another brand like rcbs or something.

Thanks Jon, that's exactly what I ended up doing.

Seemed like a no-brainer once I'd located the stones & collets for the Foredom tool I have from years ago.

Didn't need to take much off to get the tight cases to slide in either.

I am glad it worked out!
