[QUOTE="Nimrodmar10, post: 771178, member: 36369"] AZShooter I appreciate the response. I agree with everything you said. What you prescribed is pretty much the procedure I use for reloading. If possible I try to use a neck sizing die for most reloading. Occasionally though, you have to set the shoulder back to get your cases to chamber. I like the Redding graduated shell holder sets that let you find the correct amount of re-sizing for your chamber. I have the correct set for the 280, I just never got to the point that I thought I needed it. I didn't know the history of the brass. What made me wonder is that I've never seen a case grow .030" on one sizing. That and I didn't know how much a FL die should set the shoulder back. I'm wondering if my chamber is over sized or if my die is undersized. I'm headed to the reloading store today to see if I can find some new brass and a new set of dies. I've got several boxes of factory ammo, but it's 3-4 different brands. I need maybe 50 or 100 new brass to set this gun up for reloading the new Berger load. [/QUOTE]
