[QUOTE="jsthntn247, post: 839175, member: 14894"] Well, tell me if I am doing it correctly then. I start with the die not contacting the shell holder when the ram is all the way up. I make very small turns on the die and check the headspace on my gauge and chamber the brass in my rifle after each turn. Since i go so slow and I've done it so many times, I can fell when I get a .001 bump just by how the brass feels when chambered in the rifle. However I always check with the gauge first. I have found that setting the die up to the manufacturers recs can result in as much as a .015 bump. I also put a magic marker mark on the datum line so I can visually see when it's touched. [/QUOTE]
