I have resized some once fire .308 brass for my savage 11. All of the brass that was run through my gun is chambering fine. I have a decent amount of LC 06 that has been through my brother's M14. This brass goes into the chamber smoothly but will not chamber fully. The bolt will not lower at all on any of this brass.
I think the problem is that I am not getting the shoulders set back far enough. I am using a Lee .308 win die on a Lee challenger kit. Is it possible I need a new sizing die? The sizing die I have cannot go any lower as it is touching the shell holder on the ram. The micrometer says that the shoulders on the LC read 1.72" while the Nosler and Winchester that were fired in the gun measure 1.715" if that helps. Is this a known problem with a Lee sizing die?
