[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 813870, member: 5302"] Every RCBS, Pacific and Lyman press I've full length sized cases on setting fired case shoulders back a thousandth or so average. The FL die's set so there's a few thousandths clearance between the shell holder and die's bottom at the top of the ram's stroke. How much spread (case head to shoulder datum measured with case headspace gauges) is determined on how uniform the case lube's on the cleaned case as well as the amount of spring the press has. The type of case lube also effects the exact amount of shoulder setback in the FL die. [/QUOTE]
