I neck sized some once fired Rem brass in my .270 yesterday. Sizing started about a penny-width above top of shoulder. Tried to chamber the empty cartridges and the bolt wouldn't close. I switched to my fullsize dies and just screwed the die in a 1/4 turn past shell holder contact to bump shoulder a tad and they chambered fine.
This brass was all once fired in the same rifle. This was the first time I tried to neck size and didn't expect a chambering issue. Does this indicate a long chamber or headspace? Rifle is a Rem 700 circa 1984.
Thanks for your insight.
