[QUOTE="Shootin4fun, post: 814183, member: 28741"] Okay, so we see on the I T site that the proposal is to use standard FL sizing dies but adjust it to bump the shoulder by .002, and by using their headspace measurement tool to confirm your adjustment. But isn't it the case (no pun intended) that if you do it that way with FL dies, you're not actually (outside) resizing the whole neck? If its okay to do that, they is there any reason to buy neck sizing dies? Another question is, why bump the shoulder back .002? Is it to add some clearance to make cycling a round in more reliable? I think having the ability to checking overall length when setting the die after changing bullet types or lengths by using the headspace guage. Bullet length is more variable than bullet ogive, unless there's a design change. [/QUOTE]
