Hello to the forum from a first-poster, but I've been casually re-loading about 40 years; everything from 9mm to 45-70. My 7mm Mag has me at a loss.
Twice-used brass, RCBS dies, Lee presses, Winchester LRM primers, between 67.0 and 69.5g of 7298, behind Hornady139 BTSP.
After firing, cases are cleaned, they are lubed, full-length sized, de-primed, pockets cleaned, necks trimmed and ready for primers.
Placing each case into the rifle is where I'm finding the problem I'm having of some cases not wanting to load; the bolt won't close, and there is bright scuffing on parts of the faces of the un-loadable brass.
After full-length sizing, then length trimming, there doesn't seem like anything else I can do. Do I toss the brass, or have I missed a step?
Sorry for the long-winded post, but don't want you guys to have to ask for obvious information.
