[QUOTE="barnesuser28, post: 740461, member: 43468"] My factory Hornady loads measured 4.328 using the hornady headspace insert thingy and fired brass measured 4.335. I think i figured out my pressure problems, my fired brass that had very slight resistance measures 4.335, my brass that i put through my body die measured 4.334.5 - 4.335. I dont think i am bumping the shoulder back far enough. Just enough that it closes without resistance but not enough that the case can be extracted easily and causing high pressure. I reset my die to 4.333. I will see how high i can go (in terms of powder) next time i am at the range. Can the minimal shoulder bump explain the ejector marks i was getting? [/QUOTE]
