remington pro needed

The factory case will be smaller in diameter everywhere, as well as shorter. Once fired brass will expand to fit the chamber.

STEP 1. When you size a piece of brass, the dies must be correctly adjusted. To full length size for you rifle, place the appropriate shellholder in the ram of your press and screw the die in. Raise the ram to the top and screw down the die until it contacts the shellholder. If your press "cams over" it will require some effort to pull up the handle, thats OK. Place a clean and lubed piece of brass in the shellholder and fully raise the ram, resizing the brass, ***noting if the die still contacts the shellholder*** If the die no longer contacts the shellholder, you must screw down the die that until it contacts ***when a case is being sized***. This will ensure that you are FULL length sizing, not just mostly length sizing. Now trim if necessary.

Step 2. If you still cannot chamber a round by using styep 1, you need to proceed to step 2. Which is as posted above, remove the decapping pin and repeat step 1.

PEI ROB......im very interested in trying out your idea of checking to make sure the sizing die did hit the holding die ...when sizing...as i did not do this :oops:
it did hit on the set up,but im not sure on the final sizing
 
Definitely too hot a load, something is wwrong with that one. Something similar happened to me with federal premium high energy ammo in a model 70 3006 I had. I shot a 5 shot group quickly for fun, the 4th required some effort to open the bolt, the 5th case stuck inthe chamber and when I eventually got it out it looked just like yours. It's part of the reason I now handload my own. I ouwld guess your load is a touch to hot for your gun and due to the extreme heat of your chamber it expanded slightly cassing a big pressure jump and voila a blown primer and luckily for you a damaged rifle but a nondamaged head.
 
ok the last test to check for the chambering problem...i reloaded ten rounds to make sure i was full sizing...making sure that the shell holder hit the die..and i,ll be dammed if all of them chambered great in both guns :D
were i went wrong i believe,was that once the primer fell out i thought i was done :oops:
i pulled a few more bullets to triple check the powder weight...and all was 55 grains the same as i started with..i will dump the rest of them and load up a batch with 53 grains(the low end of the scale recommended for my powder)..
lets hope this is the end of the problem...
thanks to all of you,s for your patience and help to me :D :D
cheers all

One problem Don
You said the round (We only did one) we did at the camp wouldn't chamber. I know I ran them all the way home. You sure those were the rounds we did? Or the ones you had already done prior to our "lesson"

jyc.. you know you might be just right on that :oops: its getting to the point were i got so many trial and errors of dummy shell,s made up,i cant remember what is what..
this week end i will pull the bullets on all and start anew..
im damm sure i got the problem solved now ,thanks to input here from all the CGN,s
but..
after the deer season..if you get a free weekend day to free up..how about a get togeather to try and fine tune this?
also after my mishap....can you recommend a gunsmith to check out my rifle?i just want to make sure its ok...does williams in port perry have a gunsmith there?as im going there this saturday to check out some supplies we need :D
cheers

It sounds like there was too much pressure. Many things can cause excess pressure and the most common one is too much powder. Just a guess but did you use a digital scale and if so did you zero it for each load.Could it be possible that the powder you used came out of a open bottle/can

I hate you Boo, I have two 760 pumps and was just getting set to answer the posting.

At least fogducker might still alive, his last post was 07-20-2016, 03:41 AM so he must have at least one finger left to type with. :evil:
