[QUOTE="Innovative, post: 413035, member: 527"] [b]Re: Accurate FL Resizing[/b] mtelkhntr78 ....... I'd be very suspicious about how you actually [U]measure[/U] the clearance (at the shoulder) that YOUR handloads have in YOUR particular chambers. I say that because all FL dies are made to produce handloads that are smaller than the smallest minimum SAAMI spec dimensions, and production rifle chambers are made to accept even the largest handloads of a given caliber. There's quite a difference. When you measure your handloads, you only have half the information. You also need to know the size of your [U]particular[/U] chamber to see how your handloads will fit. That's why I developed the Digital Headspace Gauge. It's calibrated to YOUR rifle by zeroing on one of your fired cases. Then you just measure your handloads (at the shoulder) to see the actual chamber clearance. Of course, it's always possible for a die manufacturer to error, but it's [U]very[/U] unlikely. Modern CNC manufacturing produces chambers (and dies) that are incredibly well made. [/QUOTE]
