[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 240054, member: 9215"] It is common for rifle cases to get shorter when fired, it's the sizing that follows that makes the cases lengthen. When the round is fired, it swells outward and that tends to contract the length a tad. Sizing reduces the case diameter and that forces it to lengthen a tad. New dies are unlikley to cause much of a change unless the sizer is large enough to make the resized brass a better match to your rifle's chamber. [/QUOTE]
