[QUOTE="Lonewolf74, post: 2775400, member: 96274"] So I was plying with a new die yesterday and had something happen I never experienced before. When going to size a 3 times fired case I had a heck of a time getting the case up into the die. I quickly realized it was getting stuck above the web (about 1/4 way up from the case head). With this I started taking a bunch of measurements and looking at my reamer print. Then with determination I fully sized the case by going up and down several times sizing a little more of the case body every time. The numbers I came up with; reamer print is .588, 3X fired brass is .586, sized brass is .584, new brass is .579. These numbers all sound fine to me but holy crap does the brass go hard. I’ve also never took a close look at how much is being sized near the web, .002 sounds good but that’s also .004 smaller than chamber diameter. Is that getting on the sloppy side? So my question is what is the ideal amount for a case to get sized just above the web? Should it be around .002, more, less? Thanks for your time and help Joshua [/QUOTE]
