Thread: ZKK-600 7x57 Hard to chamber

So if you hadn't used fancy pants measuring stick and had just adjusted die for fit via feel you would've achieved the same thing without now being worried it's different lol. Sounds the opposite to this fellas issues but I'm with JD on this one. Use it and see what fired cases are like. My old .270 just hated neck sized brass,possibly an offset neck... Partial length resizing suited it just fine.

I worked for years as a draughtsman (draughtsperson in modern language) which is a lot about measurements and being exact with dimensions and descriptions. A hard habit to break. But I still load for my old soldiers neck sizing sometimes with a Lee Loader which is fine for light loads. Might even use the scoops one day.
GPM.

Mate Im in Kapiti, your welcome to drop in and Ill have a look. Does the bolt only close with difficulty when you've got a cartridge in the chamber? Or is it difficult to close on an empty chamber?

Great to see a rifle in that stock!

Yeah mate, stoked as with the wood, despite the barrel bluing it’s really brought it back and made it worth persisting with in my opinion.
