I'm new to 308 but not at all to reloading. My problem is, a shell that is sized fits the shell gage perfectly, insert the bullet and most no longer fit perfectly to pretty bad. The bullet is a Hornady ELD-X, which is a boat tail bullet, when I seat the bullets, some take quite a bit of pressure to get them to begin to seat some go smooth which I'd bet my life is the same cartridges that fit the gage verses don't. I am greasing up the finger I place the bullet with so it's lubed and it's still randomly a problem. I'm using Hornady dies.
