    As an aside, I had a 6.5x55 round that wouldn't chamber the other day, it had been full length sized. When I got it home & pulled it I found that it was 12 thou over the max book length! I trimmed it & it still wouldn't chamber so ran it thru the die again & now it's fine. I think with it being so long it didn't resize fully, it had only been fired 3 times, the rest of them were under or a touch over. A reminder not to assume to much when reloading. (Lapua brass)
