[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 171455, member: 313"] It's really very easy. Using an Overall length gauge (I use the Stoney Point but there are others) measure the base-to-shoulder distance on a once fired case. The tool will measure to a point on the shoulder known as the datum line. Once you have this measurement you can adjust your FL die down far enough to shorten this length by .001" or .002", as measured on the same gauge. Start with the die backed out a bit and slowly work your way down by sizing-measuring-adjusting (repeat-repeat-repeat) until you get the shoulders to the point that you want. [/QUOTE]
