Maybe I am misunderstanding you on this but, are you saying that if a rifle can rechamber a piece of brass that it just fired that the chamber is loose? I have yet to have a rifle that wouldn't rechamber its own spent brass.

I'm basing that on my .223 700. Shoots lights out, and won't rechamber the brass I just ejected.

Will look in to some heavier pills for it.

Understood, in my experience that is not the norm. The only barrel I had that wouldn't rechamber its own brass was a Bergara barrel that had a chamber with some deep tool gouges in the sidewalls of the chamber.

Being able to rechamber spent brass is what a Neck Sizing die is beneficial for, that way the body and shoulder of the brass is a perfect fit for your chamber.
