[QUOTE="KYODE, post: 2855751, member: 125182"] When adjusting the size die, just a few thousandths up or down in relation to the shellholder can make a big difference. Out of curiosity, would you know how far off the shellholder the size die is? In general, my size dies seem to be in an approximate range of .005”-.010” off the shellholder. Early on i would adjust my dies to touch the shellholder. This over works the brass and i had a case head separation. So i then started partial sizing, which ended up causing misfires with the die up just a little too far. Bellm and his ideas got me thru all that. I now use a feeler gauge to know exactly how far im off the shellholder. It works well for me. Curious to see what you find, and of course it’s entirely possible to be something else, but most likely an easy fix. [/QUOTE]
