[QUOTE="craiger40, post: 653656, member: 46501"] fellas, I have been having a problem getting my sized cases to chamber without setting my headspace back too far. I full length size my Lapua brass with a RCBS full length die until it chambers, then when I check how far I bumped the shoulder its 8 thousandths back. I dont want to bump my brass that much but it wont chamber if I don't. New cases chamber just fine and fired cases chamber a little tight . Here is some info. Savage 110 FCP 338 Lapua Lapua brass Headspace measurements with a Hornady gauge (which is about 2" long) New brass - 4.319" Once fired - 4.325" Once fired and sized - 4.317" It just wont size the body enough to chamber without shoving my shoulder back too far Is 8 thousandths too much or am I being picky , for the cost of this brass i need it to last . not to mention accuracy. Thanks for any ideas Craig [/QUOTE]
