Just purchased a LRPV in 6BR caliber and upon firing the first few rounds found the bolt very hard to close on a live round - had to force it closed. The bolt closes ok on an empty chamber and a little harder on a resized case (full length resized with my Redding FL die adjusted to where it just touches the shell holder in the uppermost position). A fired case finds it much harder to close. Do I need to screw my resizing die down a little to bump the shoulder back a little? I will be using the same brass in my new Savage and my custom action BAT 6BR no neck turn (again I am full length resizing the cases).

I searched this forum and there seem to be a variety of solutions to the "hard bolt closing issue".

I did have a LRPV in 223 caliber and the bolt on it closed fine.

Thanks much.
