Default RE: Trouble closing bolt

Thanks for your repies.

bigcountry,
I have not idea what fireformed means. Also I don' t have any gunsmiths as friends, I wish I did though. Life would be a lot easier. Hopefully there isn' t anything wrong with my dies.

My rifle shoots factory rounds good, and these are my second batch of handloads (ever). It seems to shoot most of them OK, but sometimes I run into a really hard one to load. Maybe it has something to do with my die not being screwed down far enough. If I remember correctly the instructions say to touch the ram with the die and back it out a 1/4 -1/2 a turn (I think). Maybe I backed it out to much?
I did trim the cases after I resized the rounds, only a very few had excess that needed to be trimmed.

Thanks again for ya' lls help. I will try to be more careful when adjusting my dies and hopefully this will help.
