I have this posted in another forum as well.

I have a new to me lrpv in .223. Previous owner said only around 200 rnds thru it.
The first time I tried a reload in it, ( which is a load for my other savage bvss ), i was able to close the bolt, but felt a little resistance. I took the shot and when i went to eject the spent round, i could not get the bolt open. So I get into this forum and immediately get a few responses. The 1st one said to hit the bolt handle lightly with a rubber mallot.
I got it out with a few light taps, no problem. At the time, i just figured that i will need to make sure to resize my brass. I figured that the head space could be different than my other rifle, which it probably is.
Well, today I resized a case in my body die as much as I could cam the press over and i am still getting cases stuck in my chamber. ( just unprimed brass ). It is not a head space problem, as i measure the case bottom to the shoulder angle with a gauge. I have some factory lapua loaded ammo that fits no problem at all. I can chamber those empties and eject them no issue at all. So I took the measurement from those rounds that do fit, so i have something to go by for reference.

The only thing that I see that is an issue is the diameter of the cases right near the case head. The ones that will chamber are .001 - .002 smaller.

I believe that either my chamber is too tight or the die is too big in diameter. I am leaning to the chamber being the issue, since the body die works fine in other 223 guns i have.
My die set is the reading bushing die set.
I took about .010 off of my shell holder so the brass would go up into the die farther and hopefully squeeze the case down some more. I can just get it to chamber and eject but it is going so far up in the die now, that the bottom shoulder angle is getting slightly rounded. So that is not good.

Also, when I push a pc of resized brass up all the way into the chamber with my finger, and look up in there, it looks like it is sticking out more than the.125 that is the norm. But I cannot verify that without having my action off to measure.

Has anyone ever experienced this issue with the lrpv chambers ???
