I keep having problems with my 308 reloads and im at the end of the rope as far as knowing what else the problem is. I keeping having reloads not chambering completely and the base of the bullet is marked up. I have this issue with a number of different types of brass, its all being full length sized, all in spec for length and fits into a headspace gauge.
I have 7 other calibers i reload using all RCBS dies and never had any issues before. When i bought the 308 dies, all they had at the time was Hornady dies so i decided to give them a try. Im not sure if its a problem with the die or something i am doing wrong. When i attempt to chamber a round in my AR10, the bolt won't completely close and then i have to pound the stock on the ground to get it back out cause its getting stuck that good. Help please!
