[QUOTE="ropeNshoot, post: 1155136, member: 70717"] So I should have done my homework before I posted anything.... And yes it is the same sizing die that I've been using forever. This is what I found by measuring from case head to shoulder on unfired rounds: Book Spec = 2.196" Bad Rem handloads = 2.209" - 2.219" Bad WW handloads = 2.206" - 2.216" Good factory WW loads = 2.194" - 2.199" So I think I found the problem. Can I accurately measure that distance with the Hornady Headspace gauge kit or is there a better way? I want to be able to make sure everything is good when I adjust my die and know exactly what the dimensions are to avoid these costly mistakes. [/QUOTE]
