As far as how to close a gun, I figured you guys would have that worked out by now. I suggest that everyone with a dog in this hunt come to the Southern Side by Side with a paint ball gun. I'll have all of you over to Beaver Pond and you can have a paint ball fight over the whole 300 acres. The loosers will buy the beer and swear to spend the rest of their lives closing their guns as dictated by the winners.
Pod: The problem is that the shoulder on the rounds you've fire formed is now pushed back. They could be fired in the gun with the rim spaced out but it's likley they'll still seperate leaving most of the case in the chamber.
This was s common problem with match shooters and M14 rifles when I was shooting. Reloaders pushed the shoulder back to make sure the round would chamber but the case would seperate after a few firings, might not be as bad with a break action gun though.
Next time you fire form cases, slowly adjust the sizing down until the rifle will just close on the case. you'll then be headspacing on the shoulder.
