[QUOTE="Idahank, post: 2938431, member: 23300"] True, but it’s only .0065” difference at the body/shoulder junction of the WSM. Use a good case lube for the resize. That .0065 will squeeze in just fine and fireform back out. Headspace might tighten by a minutia IF the shoulder gets a slight convexity from the body squeeze, but I’m sure the bolt will still close just fine. Either way, it’s a helluva lot better than running the brass deeper into the die and consequently setting the shoulder way back. You’d have to move the shoulder back .090” for every .001” decrease in diameter. That increase in headspace is dangerous, and begging for a case head separation. [/QUOTE]
