    I'd think you should be fine with a smaller gas port then. I've made a few midlength 450BM barrels and used a .081" port on them which has a lower port pressure. Are you getting ejector swipes?

    It can also be caused by the case mouth step being too sharp. I run into this often with straight walled wildcats. If you can polish it slightly and break the edge it'll stop shaving the bullet. ...

    Nice jig! I rarely have to weld a bandsaw blade but have used a simple backer and a couple clamps in the past. That looks much nicer and no third hand needed!
