Hi,
I just tried resizing some 30-30 brass tonight for my "new" Marlin 336 and I've found that I can't get them sized quite right.
They will chamber the whole way but as I get to the last bazillionth of an inch I can feel a little tightness.
It's hard to describe but it just isn't as smooth as a factory round chambering and it kind of feels like when I close the lever I'm wedging the casing in.
So what I'm wondering is, what die do they use to size the brass at the factory?
And should I invest in a set of small base dies?
