[QUOTE="BoomFlop, post: 1785416, member: 55851"] So I am a new Reloader! So take it easy on me. LOL I have LC09 223 brass. It has been fired in 2 different bolt guns. I have cleaned and inspected them all. When I measure with Hornady headspace gauge, my measurements are difficult as the primers are sticking out of some and not others, so it is impossible to get a good reading. I am wanting to get them to SAMMI specs to start. I have a RCBS Rock Chucker and Redding 2-Die set. Directions say to turn die to shell holder and that’s it. I don’t seem to get very consistent measurements there. However, I can with hard pressure on the shell holder as the press then stops and if I keep going, it then goes and come to a stop. Doing this gives me very consistent measurements of 1.4510 on the headspace gauge. I’m super frustrated, and pretty disappointed in myself for not being able to figure this out and want to be sure that what I am doing is going to be SAFE! Can someone please help me. Steve [/QUOTE]
