If you only reload it should not be a problem as you can adjust your diameters to suit the chamber, or we can just push the shoulder a little forward to ensure that the rifle is within specs and youll be above board.

Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate your information. I have found that my Redding fl bushing die sized brass won't chamber and my RCBS FL Die resized brass will chamber but still a bit tight. It might be to do with the shoulder resizing.
i'll keep trying and see.
