[QUOTE="jebel, post: 1556729, member: 106189"] Sorry, but going back to the first reply and the suggestion of the Redding Competition Shellholder Set. I think there's some confusion here, or I'm confused. The set is intended to DECREASE headspace, not increase it (which is what the OP wants). From Redding's website: "Each shellholder has a distinct black oxide finish and is clearly marked to indicate the amount it will [B][U]decrease [/U][/B]case-to-chamber headspace." From Brownell's website: "The five shellholders are +.002", +.004", +.006", +.008", and +.010" [B][U]thicker than normal[/U][/B] shellholders" (i.e., thicker plate, so shortens case). Wasn't the first response the right one? [/QUOTE]
