[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1399385, member: 78438"] I've never worked on a howa, but I doubt is too difficult. It's probably not necessary either. Just measure a fired case from the head to the datum line using a headspace comparator, then like GreggC said, slowly start turing you FL sizing die down. You'll feel when you "bump" the shoulder. now measure that case. Zero your caliper with the comparator in it before you do any of this. You'll get a little spring back so you'll probably have to go just a little bit more, measure until you move the shoulder .002. check a fresh piece of fired brass and make sure you get the same results with one movement.
