This is the 1st time relaoding Nickel cases. I'm reloading for a
Browning A-Bolt chamberd in 243 wssm. I resized all the cases
and they will not fit in gun. I check the dia. it is .550 in. on a
factory case my case measure .554 in. Case,Gun,or Dies?
thx for any help
Was they fired in someone elses WSSM? The nickel shouldn't have anything to do with it. They are not solid nickel but plated. Was you able to size and chamber regular brass? Are you FL sizing or just collet, or neck?
I suppose you don't have a stoney point or equivlent comparitor? If you can get one, check the length of the necks compared to a fireformed in your gun piece of brass.
Do you have a fireformed piece of brass you have not sized to compare the diameter? Could be the dies. Not unusual to get dies off a little.
