reloading 300 win mg, RCBS full length die. I have sized lots of rounds no problem. I am following basic guide lines for prep. I started getting shoulder measurements long. I adjusted die and got my 1st stuck case. Which suckssss. Cleared it, cleaned die and 2 cases later stuck another. Where do I go from here?nthanks for your time.
 
As diver mentioned i also had to go to the willis collet die after a couple firings in my 300 WM, the base ahead of the web got too big to chamber. I haven't had the problem (YET) with other belted cases.
 
The Innovative collet sizer corrects belted case chambering problems.

Sticking any cases in a conventional sizer is due to insufficent/improperly applied sizing lube, period.
