[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 887847, member: 9215"] "[I]yes the shell holder does come in contact with the die[/I]." When? I mean, with or without a case fully inserted? It hardly matters what touches where if there's no case in the die. And, given that the die makes the outside right, it hardly matters if you've over pressured the case; size it correctly and it will be right (.338 Lapua or not, it [U]would[/U] be wise to pay attention to that passage in your loading manual about working up a load and backing off a bit if you encounter over pressure signs tho). Using the RCBS case gage to obtain SAAMI specs sorta defeats it's primary purpose. The great advantage of proper hand loading is to make our ammo fit our chamber, not every chamber ever made, which is all SAMMI ammo specs are meant to sccomplish. An FL die is basically a body/shoulder bump die with a neck sizer tossed in, doing the same thing in two steps with two dies wouldn't automatically change the end results. [/QUOTE]
