[QUOTE="UnSafe, post: 1378930, member: 100"] Thoughts: Be sure that you are truly "Full length" resizing the brass. Check you die instruction sheet. Measure case length and trim if needed. Ensure the COL isn't too long, although if the round fits in the mag, it's unlikely. In addition to the case gauge you have, try (In a safe place) chambering all of the (re) loaded rounds from magazine by releasing the bolt release. Feel for resistance when extracting the unfired cartridges and inspect for evidence of friction. blacken any friction areas with a Sharpie and rechamber to get a better idea of what's going on. If there's an interferance fit, inspect your chamber for reamer marks or fouling. I've never messed with 6.5 Grendel, but wonder if it- being a relatively new cartridge, has some issues with chambering reamer and reloading die tolerances, like the .458 SOCOM. As usual, re-confirming the basics usually resolves reloading problems. [/QUOTE]
