[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 1246843, member: 12"] First off, the standard mftrs instructions to go down until you touch the top of the shell holder and cam over will work AS LONG as case life is not an issue. These instructions are designed by lawyers to ensure the case is sized to fit into ANY chamber. You are almost always bumping the shoulders back way too much and increasing headspace, causing excess brass flow and may result in case head separation in 3-4 reloads. Not a good thing. IF you want max accuracy and case life learn to adjust the die to fit your chamber not some blanket instruction for every sloppy chambe made. Here is a pretty good example of how to do it correctly to adjust the dies for minimal headspace and to fit your chamber.
