Stimpy, Brass had two or three loadings, Was new to begin with., full-length sized in Lee dies. Separation problems were in the Contender. Have slowed project down until I can control separation, don't really want a case going bad in the rifle. If there is a chamber problem its got to be the T.C, got it first. Hand loads that were only partially sized would NOT chamber in the Savage. Have only shot the Savage <30 times. By partially sized I mean I had set my sizing die to just work the neck.
I'm beginning to think that dedicated brass and neck-sizing only for the T.C. may be the way go, may even be worth investing in a set of neck sizing dies. Have not shot much factory stuff. Reloading provides an almost Zen-like calm for me unless of course it dosen't work then I revert to my linear Western thinking and start to lose my temper:)
By the way to all who have responded to this post, I do thank you for your time and the information
