Been reloading for prob 25 yrs , never tried to push the boundaries, never had a drama. Lately Having difficulty chambering my 243 reloads I don’t mean hard to close the bolt I mean impossible to close the bolt It was nothing to do with thick necks, case too long or bullet seated out to far. Turns out I had at some stage swapped my shell holder over in my press to do some 450 bushmaster....and then later tried to do some 243 again .....pushed my cases into the shell holder and they fitted so off I went. But the 243 shell holder is a different height than the 450 bushmaster shell holder. So now I prob have a hundred or more bullets to pull , resize, reprime, charge and reseat .....my old eyes need to pay more attention .....don’t let this happen to you
