[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1669229, member: 26227"] I have some advice for you if you are willing to do an experiment. run the resizing die down to where the case/shell holder meets the bottom of the resizing die, size one case, anneal and size again. see if it goes into your chamber and close the bolt, if it closes smoothly then take the case out, seat a primer in the case. insert the case into the chamber and close the bolt, GO OUTSIDE, pop off the primer, extract the case, get a pair of dial calibers, digital work as well. measure the case next to the protruding primer, then measure the case and the protruding primer. then subtract the two values/lengths. that is your excessive head space. then take a feeler gauge 0.002" smaller than the number your got. then set that between the shell holder and the bottom of your sizing die. this will ensure your brass come out very close but not equal to your chamber length.
