    Bullets not seated too long.
    Rifle chambers factory ammo fine.
    Tried a body die too, went through that fine.
    Measured all dimensions with verniers and compared to hornady book, all within spec.
    I have a small base die but when pushing a round in by hand it feels tight and I’m worried I will get a live round stuck.

    Lube it and run it thru the die. It will be fine.
