WildAlaska,
I found this in a post from "bfoster" who has a few credentials:

"You may want to check the head size, including the rim of your brass. S&B brass in 6,5 X 55, like most brass of European origin, is larger by some 0.006-0.008" than U.S. made brass. Some lots of Euro brass won't properly fit U.S. made shellholders that are near minimum size for the rim dimension." (Posted 01-12-2003 on Reload Bench Bulletin Board)

Thanks for the directing me to some good info. Jay
