Default RE: Bolt not closing???

LAHUNTER,

As already stated a full length sizing die should touch the shell holder and the ram " break over the top" with a little feel. This will result in a case that has been returned to original specs. With the die above the shell holder, the case is " partially resized" . That portion of the case that is not sized actually increases in size and will prevent the bolt closing. Even a neck sizing die should be adjusted in the same way. Your problem is quite common when an attempt is made to neck size with a full length sizing die. I hope that this is of some help. Have a good weekend.[&:]
