Funky Reloading Question

n/a

---

I have a pump Remington Model 141 which has been acting up recycling. Made a dummy round with a resized case. Tried to cycle the round and loaded fine. Whe i went to eject it went part way and hung up. Usingt more umpf that should be necessary had the tound eject. The purchase area of the round now has ridges around the bullet and the case itself appears to have the shoulder reduced with little or no slope on the case.

Any suggestions?

If you can post a couple of pictures of the round, it would help a lot. Do the ridges look like rifleing ?

The ridges are circular around the purchase area of the brass and bullet. Looks like thew brass hit something and crinkled or upset with the closing of the bolty.

If I am correctly imagining what you are attempting to describe, it sounds as though the brass was much too long and the neck buckled when jammed against the end of the chamber. Brass grows in length with each firing and sizing, and must be trimmed back.

Try a factory shell!

Sounds like your brass case has been re-sized wrong! Also some pumps, (such as yours) auto's, lever actions should have the reload brass sized with a SMALL base sizer die!
The 141's if in good shape are becoming a desirable collectors item
and replacement parts for broken pieces are getting scarce as dinosaur eggs, so I would keep a heads up about re-loading issues for a collectors item![;)]

Clean the chamber.
