[QUOTE="LRHWAL, post: 303358, member: 5418"] [b]Shims or Redding comp shellholders[/b] Oh... and I currently still use the Redding competition shellholder (I think it's called). This allows for contact between the die base and the shellholder and you can "customise headsapce" adjustment whilst still making die/shellholder contact. You could also put a washer shim over the case between the shellholder and the die. Whether this is desireable is probably another question. I suspect that takes care of creating a "dead length" sizing set up which in theory may be more repatable. For me it was an easy way to set up the die. Certainly easier than screwing it down in little bits. Is it money well spent? Well.... not sure, but it's also easy for me, within limits, to change the headspace now by swapping the shellholder and leaving the die untouched if I want to check something out. [/QUOTE]
