I take it you're putting your bullet as far in the chamber as it will go then backing off slightly. The reason I'm asking is all the Scenars I've used (especially in 6.5) are very long. Don't go by suggested lengths given in reloading manuals, use only actual measurements you've taken with Stoney Point OAL guage or other method. Best wishes.
