[QUOTE="woods, post: 771636, member: 6042"] Perhaps I am reading this wrong but it sounds like you are just setting the die according to the instructions where it is threaded down to hit the shellholder. This is not necessarily correct. If the RCBS die is pushing the shoulder back .005" then it is adjusted wrong also. It should be set to push the shoulder back .001" AFTER THE CASE HAS REACHED A CRUSH FIT IN YOUR CHAMBER FROM FIREFORMING. When you say "set the die to only set the shoulder back .001" when the die TOUCHES THE SHELLHOLDER" it should be "set the die to only set the shoulder back .001" FROM THE FIREFORMED MEASUREMENT" this might be when the die has not been threaded down far enough to hit the shellholder or it has. What is important is that you set your die for your individual circumstances. If I am misreading or misunderstanding, my apologies [/QUOTE]
