[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 871852, member: 5219"] The case will actually increase in length when you first begin to partially full length size. I didn't mention that because I thought I wrote enough stuff for one thread. Sorry.... When the die is adjusted a bit deeper and the brass is sized with the process repeated at some point the brass will fit the chamber. It would appear your particular chamber is on the short side (which is a good thing) and you are able to get the proper fit only by camming over the top. I had a few chambers made by a local gunsmith that were so tight that I had to grind some material off the shell holder. Worst case would be to have to grind off some of the die! Now you know what it takes to size your brass. I use a sharpie and write a note on inside of box. With this cartridge I'd write something like "light camming" or "heavy camming" as a reminder for future setup. When you end up with a dozen or so rifles those notes become very useful. I also keep a notebook on every rifle with procedures, load data etc. It is not that unusual to find that some of the neck isn't sized with some partial FL sizing. That could be a good thing as that portion of the brass will center itself in the chamber. Redding's bushing dies don't size a portion of the neck for that very purpose. The details seem endless don't they? Keeps things interesting. [/QUOTE]
