[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1318496, member: 70559"] Last paragraph first. Move the die out at least twice as far as you think you need to. A full turn is about .070". With this info I think you need to take a fired case that you have not sized, lube it, size it full length, clean it and try it in your rifle. It might show a slight bolt resistance on closing. If it does you have a good start. Turn the die down about 1/20th of a turn. This gives you about .003" shorter length. Try another fired case. Repeat this until the first one shows not resistance and try one more. If it is the same lock it down. You are not headspacing on the shoulder with only a couple thousandths clearance. The others I would anneal, load, and fire them. From my experience they will not be as accurate as they can be, but good enough for some off hand practice. [/QUOTE]
