I could use some help here. I am having a heck of a time with .308 reloads being difficult-to-chamber. Factory ammo chambers fine.

This is what I'm doing.

If full-length resizing:
1. Run through full-length sizing die (cases lubed)
2. Trim case to 2.005"
3. Prime case
4. Charge case
5. Seat bullet (no crimp) to 2.045" OAL w/ Hdy. 150 gr. SST

If neck-sizing only:
1. Run through neck-sizing die (Lee Collett Die)
2. Prime case
3. Charge case
4. Seat bullet (no crimp)

At first I thought the problem might be with my Lee dies. But after buying RCBS dies I experienced the very same problem. I thought that maybe (during full-length sizing) I was not pushing the case in far enough during sizing but that was not the case. Every bit of the case is being sized during the full-length sizing operation.

Neck-sized ONLY rounds are even more difficult to chamber.

This problem occurs with Hornady, Winchester, and RP brass alike.

Any thoughts on what I may be missing here?

Thanks,
