[QUOTE="gebhardt02, post: 822532, member: 12695"] I too have a couple different rifles for the same cartridge, but I FL size them all. I set my dies up differently than some folks though as I set the die to FL size but only bump the shoulder back 0.002" or so. I set the die for the rifle that needs the shortest case after sizing and then use some machine die shims to get the proper height on the other rifles cases. This way I take the time to set my die and just annotate in the log books which cases need the shims, and never have to worry about cases getting too tight in the chamber when neck sizing only and I also don't overwork the cases. One FL die for each cartridge, minimum bumping of the shoulder, and the cases aren't exactly a "sloppy" fit in the chamber either. Geb [/QUOTE]
