I just reloaded my first shells for my 270wsm. When I chambered the first shell I noticed it takes about twice as much force (down pressure on the bolt) to lock up the reloads as a new shell. I also tried empty fired casings they locked up easily also. the reloaded shells are leaving an ocasional small brass grindings on the backside of the bolt also. I thought maybe I had the decapping pin set to far out and maybe it forced the bottom of the shell slightly out so I tried one with the decapping unit out barely far enough to push the old primer out and had the same results. They are Hornady dies and it is the first time they have been used, anyone have any thoughts. The shells are fireing fine, I am concerned that some of the small peices of brass may get in the barrel and cause a problem. Would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks, Wayne
