[QUOTE="Nimrodmar10, post: 771514, member: 36369"] Okay, I bought a set of RCBS full length dies. When I got home I fired two factory rounds through the 280 Remington and took some measurements. I also bought one of the Hornady Lock-N-Load Cartridge Headspace Gauge Kits. The case grew .002" when it was fired. The RCBS FL die pushed the shoulder back .005". The Lyman FL die pushed the shoulder back .010". I think I found my problem. The Lyman die was short. Will put them in the no-longer-used box. I will use the Redding Competition Shellholder Set to set the die to only set the shoulder back .001" when the die touches the shellholder. This will be the +.004" shellholder. I tried this on one of the fired factory loads and it looked good. No luck finding 280 brass at my gun shop so I guess I'll have to order it online along with a neck sizing die. Thanks for the help. Still looking for pet loads for the 280 with the Berger 168 gr. VLD. Nimrodmar10. [/QUOTE]
