A little more info new lapua brass measures 2.671" and new rem measures 2.673".do remington cases chamber? What am I missing here? Im convinced the issue is the brass but where? I do use the dies for a different gun using used brass and I have never run into this. Can anyone offer some insight to what's happening?
THANKS
Will new Remington case chamber?
If Lapua brass chambers @ 2.671" sounds like your chamber is 2.671". Are you sure of your fired case measurement?
Push bolt down a little harder to see if you can get your colored cases to mark. I prefer sight black as sometimes markers are a bit difficult to scuff??
Are you trying to chamber the empty sized cases or are you reloading cases and then trying to chamber? If resized empty cases will chamber but reloaded rounds will not that could be an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT PROBLEM.

yes new rem will chamber and yes I am sure of my measurements. Fired brass from this gun measures 2.680" I had to size down to 2.673 as stated to get the ones that would not chamber to chamber. I did not mention but the 35 that did chamber were sized to 2.677" I am perplexed to say the least. I am thinking that the brass that would not chamber came from a gun that had serious chamber issues and im seeing the results from it. I think the problem is the taper on the shoulder, because that's the only thing I cant compare or measure. Of course my measurements are taken with the comparator on my dial caliper and I am not zeroing the dial, just making comparisons.
