[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3082239, member: 15054"] I have an issue I think my die is not sizing my case far enough in the shoulder diameter and body diameter area. This gun I have is an old Marlin Ballard I have never had ammo for it. Someone gave me some fired cases . These do not chamber in my rifle and after full length sizing they still do not fit. The case is .344" at the shoulder and mid way to the base is .345" and the case will not go all the way into the chamber lacks about .200". I smoked the case to see where it is binding and it is the shoulder and 3/8" or so down from there. If anyone here has 32-20 can you measure the case for me at the shoulder and 1/4" down and 1/2" down from shoulder for Diameter. I even held the sized case in my hand and the sizing die in my hand and inserted the case into the die and whacked it in all the way with a plastic hammer and then drive it back out with a Lee wack-a-mole rod. Thinking it may size a bit more as if the shell holder may have been too thick. Did not fix the situation. Still will not go in the chamber all the way. It will if i tap it good with the plastic hammer.. but then drive the case out with a dowle rod. [/QUOTE]
