[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2627176, member: 116181"] All you've done with that is create more shoulder/chamber clearance and likely overwork your brass. Take a step back, set up your sizing die correctly, and re-run the pressure test in fired brass. Adjusting the sizing die vertically does not drastically change how the sizing die sizes the case walls like it does the shoulders. If you end up needing more body sizing than your die is giving you (making the assumption the Redding die you are using is an FL die) you'll need a different die. The size of new brass has no relation to what you should be sizing brass to. To ensure case fit in the chamber the case should be sized some amount less than where the round won't rechamber in your rifle. -0.002" is a commonly given spec for moving shoulders back, but only in relation to a fully formed case.
