I have a Ruger mini 14 300blackout, bought it to shoot cast. Since day one with this rifle the rounds just do not want to chamber easily. I have to smack the operating rod handle to get the first round in the chamber, and about 1/2 of the follow up shots only partially chamber, then I have to smack it again. I tried several different Lee designs, sized from .309 to .311, bought a Noe mold (love this one), no good. I had a brainstorm, and a spare shellholder in case I mucked one up. Lee dies by the way. Anyway, I polished about 1.5 thou off the top of the shellholder and BAM!!! All rounds chamber smooth as butter! I think the Lee sizing die was not setting the shoulder back quite far enough, but it works now. For those blackout shooters with this problem you might want to try this trick, it only cost a shellholder , and just might fix your issues. I don't get a chance often to help out fellow shooters as they usually know more than me, but hopefully this does.
