[QUOTE="woods, post: 240978, member: 6042"] Thread the die in a little further, resize and try it again in your gun. Keep doing that until you feel the case become easy to chamber. I like a very slight crush fit in my loads. When adjusting the die move it a very little. I find it advantageous to make marks with a magic marker on the die, lock nut and press [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/RELOADING/DSCN0140.jpg[/IMG] In this photo the difference shown between the marks on the lock nut and die threads can move the shoulder back .002" which is about the amount needed to take a case from a crush fit to no shoulder contact. Sometimes it takes forever when zeroing in on the exact die adjustment and you may have to adjust in bigger turns and go past the point where you push the shoulder back too far and then trash that case, then go back to find the exact point of a slight crush fit.
