Hi Folks,
Been having an issue with my Marlin 1894 (.357) at the last stage of operating the level (closed - chambering a round) the action is difficult to close...
A bit of examination shows the cases are bulged slightly where the .358 commercial cast bullet is seated... if I recycle through the sizing die they chamber just fine... but of course this is resizing the bullet in the case and I'd rather not do that... in future I want to use Lee 358-158 RNFP "as cast" circa .360
Is there a view on which cases have thinner walls ? Lapua cases are all I have at present... or any other thoughts on inside reaming the case mouths?
Thanks in advance...
