Being left handed I bought a Ruger American Predator in 7mm-08 for a lighter weight Hunting & truck rifle.
We Found some dies on clearance at midway & they also had some 7mm Hornady 150 ELD-X so we were off to the races.
I loaded rounds to mag length with a few different charges of W760 in resized .260 Nosler brass & have just determined these loads will not allow the bolt to close.
Naturally I assumed I did something wrong but after referring to all the reloading manuals the brass is under sized, most of it 2.015” & at the diameters it should be.
All I can figure is the head space was not set correctly. I am now in search of some Go-No Go Gauges.
Has anyone else dealt with this?
