[QUOTE="Legionnaire, post: 2240270, member: 101897"] Sounds to me like you have an out-of-spec sizing die. I can find no reference to a difference between a ".243 Winchester Improved" and a ".243 Ackley Improved." Indeed, most references refer to the .243 Win Ackley Improved. The SAAMI spec for the shoulder of a standard .243 Winchester is .454, so if your die is sizing to .450, it is constricting the shoulder smaller than a standard .243 Win. I have a set of Redding "Standard" dies (Series C 84420) that are listed as "243 Winchester Improved 40°" that size for my .243 Ackley correctly. If I were you, I'd send the die back to Redding along with a couple of sized cases and ask them to repair or replace it. [/QUOTE]
