[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3189897, member: 15054"] I have Lee dies and the FCD and I do not crimp my rifle ammo. Only time shoulder is set back is during my FL resizing. In a few days I will have his rifle here and will smoke a loaded case and chamber it to see where it is touching. Smoke or color the entire round with black permanent marker. My same AR15 will chamber my bolt rifle ammo with no issues and those do not get the shoulder set back at all and bullet is seated .030" longer. Buddies AR binds up solid with those and you must pound the round out from the muzzle end. I may be jumping the gun thinking it needs a small base die. I t could have a hickey in the chamber or something like that I have a scope I can see in there with. My cases are annealed federal cases and neck Id is .003" smaller than bullet OD, plenty of bullet hold there and i use a lyman VLD chamfer so I do not pull any metal off the bullet during seating. The taper on the RCBS chamfer would pull metal on a few different cases i have used it on .243-.308. You would think they would be loose ..but I have worked on some guns that are just not following the rules. [/QUOTE]
