[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 387259, member: 13632"] I was thinking the same thing as elkaholic, you can send a sample of the brass to a die maker and have then ream you out one that would size the web down without mashing the shoulder way back. Or get your head space set to min spec. Even if you do get the case sized down you would have set the shoulder back so far that your moving a lot of brass each firing so it's hard to have consistency and low runout when you always moving and trimming. I was moving the case head back .010 every firing, I was having to trim every firing and my brass failed fast. I reset my head spacing to .002 on a head space guage, now I can fire max loads and only move a couple thou with a firing and I can set my Redding die to the shell holder and when the handle cams over I just set my shoulder back and just get it sized down. Good luck, I feel your pain!! [/QUOTE]
