A lot of 700's are slightly "short chambered" I have to set my case shoulders back a few thou more to have proper head clearance for mine.

The somewhat harder LC cases WILL chamber harder than most commercial because of this.

I wound up having to dust off .002 from my shellholder, the bolt closes fine now.

I used my surface grinder, but you can use the flat surface/sandpaper trick.

Your cases aren't too long after sizing are they?

OR it could be your die.
