Good afternoon fellas, Ive been to range today to shoot,I had five rounds that I could not get bolt closed on,I measured brass as well as coal and they are the same as other ones that fired just fine.This brass has been reloaded and neck sized about six times.I would appreciate any help or suggestions.
 
Without giving an obviously silly answer, if the round will not chamber, it is, somewhere on its surface, larger than the chamber.

Why not full length size one of those rounds and try again. If you are using a neck bushing type die, just remove the bushing and decapping pin and f/l the case with the bullet and powder intact.

(Remember, at this point you now have a live round in the gun so strip the firing pin out before trying this unless you are at the range)
 
If its a 700 check the extractor. I had one that came in my shop this week with the same problem. The extactor was sticking not allowing the round to chamber everytime.
