Title: Resizing Question
Post by: Tom Tamer on November 04, 2014, 08:31:33 PM: Curious, I fire form my brass and then neck resized. I noticed the shoulder exceeds SAAMI specs. Is this due to that chamber being a little larger than the norm or is my brass not contracting enough when shot.

Make sure your chamber is clean. I love Patch-Out, but I clean my chamber with Hoppes #9 and dry patch it after I'm done cleaning the gun, and if the gun has sat idle for a while... :twocents:
