[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 815021, member: 5302"] All those thousands of reloaders, die makers who make gauges to measure shoulder setback and shell holders to control it, are obviously doing things different than others. They all know the pit falls of standard FL dies setting fired case shoulders back too far. And that more often than not, a FL die set to stop against the shell holder as the press cams over center, fired case shoulders are set back; sometimes way too far, sometimes just a little bit, rarely not at all. Expecially with chambers whose shoulder headspace is at the maximum length and with dies whose shoulder headspace on a standard shell holder is at the minimum length. [/QUOTE]
