With about three weeks to go before Nationals, I decided to replace my factory rifle barrel with a new Lilja (I know, I know...I ain't the greatest planner in the world!). And then I started thinking about a new chamber, which might not chamber the 85 neck-sized and primed shiny cases I got sitting on my reloading bench (I know, I know... I ain't the greatest planner in the world!). My neck-sized rounds are hard to cock even in my old factory chamber..... So here's the issue: if I back out my depriming pin some on my full length resizing die, do you think I could possibly resize, very carefully, my eighty-five already primed cases? This may be the world's stupidest question but as a high power reloader, I make a damn good ski patroller. Any help appreciated....

Funny.... not especially helpful, but....funny!

Hey Mel, you are not alone, I occasionally have customers who supply reloads so I can test fire their new barrel and I find they don't fit in the new chamber. I like to take the decapping pin out of the decapping rod when I have to do what you are doing. Don't forget to put the pin back in when your done.

PS Bring along some of your resized brass this weekend.

Thanks Pete! I'll do that.... see you tomorrow.....
