[QUOTE="Aussie, post: 67618, member: 2447"] [b]Re: I\'m not stumped[/b] ArthurJ , These might seem like stupid questions but as you've only been loading for a year I'll ask them anyway . Is your press camming over at the bottom of it's stroke when sizing ? How much downward pressure on the handle required to cam over ? Is your shellholder from Redding too ? Forgetting the Wilson die , have you followed Redding's instructions for setting up your die ? Personally don't see the need for the Wilson die if you adjust the sizing die down to the point where you bump the shoulder back just enough so that you feel a little resistance when lowering the bolt handle on a fired case (providing that you can adjust your die to do this). Partial full length sizing (which is what you are doing at the moment if not moving the shoulder) will actually lengthen your cases and make them more difficult to chamber . [/QUOTE]
