I'm starting to think that the brass may be too thick. Maybe I should order some TAC 20 Dakota/Lapua brass and have another go with it? Possibly the curve ball being thrown my way here is USED brass and too thick?
Have you FL sized it?
IMI brass is EXCELLENT brass.
Since the Dtac folks like a tight chamber, there is a possibility that you will need a small base sizing die to get you started.
You CAN use a 223 Redding Small base BODY die to pull down the body to absolute minimum diameter.. They are not expensive.
