Help!

I measured every single round when I got home. They were perfect 2.55" total length. They only looked long because my factory bear loads are shorter by .15 when I compared them at the range. Weird. Whatever happened soon will be yesterdays news (thank god) and my rifle is perfect. Only shot 12 rounds before I packed up. Was so distraught I didn't track or take pics of the target.

The extra length and Ogive on the bullet may of had something to do with that. I ran into that on mine. Some chambers are just a little tighter.

I just wish I would have slowed down and took everything apart at the range. I really thought it was going to the gunsmith -

Looks fine to me. Whats the OAL of those grizzly loads

OK here is what happened... my first two crimping attempts on the Grizzy loads (I think my first crimping ever) was too much and bubbled out the shell a tad. This caused the round to get stuck in the chamber and not seat all the way creating this whole mess - whew I'm glad I figured that out because I'm really scratching my head on the lengths of the rounds. They all fell in the parameters of being OK

Well if it makes you feel any better you arent the only one who has done that. Those dies only roll crimp. The Lee Factory crimp dies roll and taper some at the same time. You can take that loaded round you have and either pull it or run it up in that lee die and probably take out bubble enough to chamber that round.

I'm going to try that!

I'm also going to use the Lee for the next batch of Missouri and Grizzly
I tried to use it on the shorty Hornady but won't work
