[QUOTE="jimbires, post: 814194, member: 11011"] yes you are correct , your die will not touch the shell holder . your die should be sizing all of the neck . the die will size the neck until it touches the shoulder , then it will continue to size the neck while it pushes the shoulder back 0.002 . yes you should be resizing the whole neck , with the die adjusted this way . some guys still neck size only , I don't . I do have a few Lee collet dies , these only neck size , but then I also use a body die to push the shoulder back 0.002 . which is basically doing the same thing as using a full length die . bumping the shoulder back will ease cambering your ammo . if you neck size only , after a couple reloads the bolt will be hard to close on your rifle . yes I measure my COAL from the ogive . it is much more accurate than off the tip . redding makes the competition shellholder set , these are nice . I use these with a RCBS precision mic . it makes setting up your die easy .
