[QUOTE="dwm, post: 403573, member: 1136"] I am using the die described below, but only sizing the base 0.001 to 0.0015. When this die is set to minimumly size the base, it does not contact the shoulder or neck at all, only the base. I am not overly concerned about work hardening the base. This is just the opposite of a normal full length die which will bump the shoulder before sizing the base, if the die is only turned down in the press a minimal amount. I am on my 12th reload of a set of Winchester cases with plenty of life left in them. Make sense? ------------------------------ Redding Small Base Body Die 284 Winchester Designed to full length resize the case body and bump the shoulder without disturbing the case neck. The Small Base Body Dies are for use with firearms with custom chamberings that are tighter than SAAMI Specifications. For precise control of the amount of shoulder bump, Redding Competition Shellholders are recommended. Not for use with loaded ammunition. Shellholder sold separately. [B][U]Technical Information[/U][/B] [B]Material:[/B]Steel [B]Die Type Included:[/B] Small Base Body Die [B]Notes:[/B] Small Base Sizing dies squeeze the brass down to minimal SAAMI specifications. This work hardens the brass more (makes it more brittle) and shortens the case life. [/QUOTE]
