[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1459447, member: 10755"] Whenever I alter a shellholder, I turn .010” off the TOP of it and adjust the die as I normally would. The feeler gauge treatment will tell you if .010” is adequate or not, but doing this method gets tiresome, hence altering the shellholder. Always remember to either wind the expander up, or remove it, so the primer pin doesn’t hit the feeler gauge, I know I have forgotten to do so. The only rifle I currently have requiring this is a short chambered 375 Weatherby running Redding dies, as that’s all that available. The altered shellholder stays with that die set, so no mistakes are made with other belted cartridges I load for, which is several. Cheers. :) [/QUOTE]
