Yes, I have to over cam my 708 die to get chambering rounds.

As someone suggested, I might file a little off the bottom of the die to suit.

Adjusting a shell holder is easier .,.. . .

Hey man haven't read though all the posts so may well have been suggested but wsm's shoulder angles are notoriously hard to bump back. After own a 7mm wsm i had to chamber my brass before reloading to make sure it would not get stuck upon firing.
It's a fine line bumping the brass back enough vs denting the case.
I suspect it may be a tight cambering and possibly worth talking to a Smith about reaming the chamber foward a few more thou.
Good luck

The correct way to adjust a die and shell holder if you can't push the shoulder back far enough is to take a bit off the top of the shell holder then mark the shell holder.

The dies are hardened and while a bit can be taken off the bottom of the die the shell holder is the best piece to take a bit off, it's cheaper to replace than the dies.

Update, finally got around to grinding out the top of the shell holder n doing some sizing / loading.

While my "painter type engineering skills" will not get me a job at NASA, fuk boys that worked a treat & now all sorted


Cheers guys

Has the same exact experience with resizing a 7 PRCW. A minute doing figure eights on 220 grit on the top of the shellholder fixed it.

Real men use a flappy disk aye @Ryan_Songhurst :yaeh am not durnk: :D

I had same issue, rather than grinding/filing dies/shellholders etc until confirming where issue lay's i made a shim from the side of a coke can, after de-capping then resize with shim inside shellholder raising case to present closer to die, worked perfect

As it happens measured some last week 0.004"

Just to confirm. Measured one today, 0.004"

but it was probably a Chinese can..

Perhaps.
