.308 help

[leatherman92]

I reloaded some 7.62 nato cases resized the and still they wont chamber all the way what causes this.

HMMMM, thickness of the brass?  Shoulder angle?

Did you trim the case after resizing? Even a few thousands will cause this problem.

 Did you check the Overall length ?

+1 on what Tom said  also are you using a full length resizing Die. You did not state if the cases are from your gun or some other source. An important thing to remember is that all chambers are not the same. If you get a chamber gauge it would be very helpful to you  or have some one gauge your chamber.

Yes are you completely resizing and are you using a small base resizing die? What type of rifle are you loading for?

[leatherman92]

I'm reloading these for my ruger m77 mark 11 I trimmed them and they the same length as the .308 cases and I used a full length RCBS .308win die.

What gun was the brass fired in?
As M25 said, you might need a small base die if these are from another rifle. That's OK, they're not expensive.

Could be lots of things.  When you try to insert the case into the chamber, does it just stop?  or does it get harder to feed.

If it just stops, its an OAL or shoulder needs to be bumped back.   Its it goes in easy, then gets hard, its a sizing issuse.
