Ok, got the crazy stuff figured out. My initial loads were done with an Alexander Seating Die (Lee) and I switched to a Redding. It turns out that both dies, even set down all the way would not reach my correct seating dept, remember I am using .267 bullets. The Lee looked OK but was using the body, not the plug to seat the bullet. So my easy fix turned into a project. I made a new seater plug for the Redding die that was longer by .250 or 1/4 inch. I used a stainless bolt that was cut down to the smooth shank with the head rounded to fit inside the body while the shank fit the body/collet tube and moved freely, worked like a champ. So now I have the chamber/bullet jamming issue solved. I am hoping this setup will give me more stable Standard Deviation and Extreme Spread readings.
Just to let you know the easy fix got a bit more complicated. But I do have 40 more 12.2 gr rounds loaded and ready to roll, when I get back from visiting the son in Vegas at the end of the week.
