Ok so 2 weeks ago i size about 50 shells/primed and today i load a few rounds up. when i went to chamber them they wouldnt go couldnt close the bolt. So i tried to chamber a empty resized case it went prefectly. But as soon as i seated a bullet it wouldnt chamber. I have loaded 40 rounds before and still had a few around so i tried on of them and they chambered just like they should. The gun is a 338 Rum and i am using RCBS dies and equipment first load was accubond 180 the ones i cant get are 225 but think it is the bullet choich because I still had a few 180s left and tried them with no luck. I even tried resizing brand new brass and couldnt get anything to work???? sorry about grammer but i am pissed, any help out there???
Thanks

Sorry guys just went back at again, and i found that i had the seat die down to far so i was crushing the case just a little but that little bit was enough so here is my next question how do i go about pulling the bullets and can i use the bullets again and also how do i go about resizing the primed cases?
Thanks

Roll EyesPer chance: do you have a set of .375 Ultra mag dies ? If so just run them in that with the expander and stem removed. Did the same thing years ago with some buggered up .264 rounds that I put through a .338 die. If you don't have that die go buy a set, use it as suggested than next week buy the rifle to match. Easy fix nilly Right?? holycowroger

I had to pull a bunch of bullets recently. I just watched the bullet's progress as I slapped the puller on a stool, when it looked like it was about to come out I pulled it by hand. Re-used bullets and I didn't get powder all over, I reused it too
