Here's what I did. Loading 300 WSM for a Browning X-bolt using once fired Winchester brass from this gun. All brass full length sized and trimmed. After priming and charging, while setting up the seater die, I screwed the die in til it touched the case mouth. I then mistakenly screwed the die in one full turn rather than backing it out 1 full turn. This gave me a heavy crimp and also smashed the shoulder slightly. The cases would not chamber. I pulled the bullets and full length sized again. The cases are now very tight in the chamber with some being very difficult to close the bolt on. Should I force the bolt shut and shoot em to fireform back to shape?
