[QUOTE="Broz, post: 866618, member: 7503"] I use Redding body dies and a set of Redding stepped shell holders. Then set the die up to contact the shell holder for a firm cam over but not too much. In a few instances I have had to grind a small amount off the die body to get me in the middle of the set of shell holders and match up for a -.0015" to .002" shoulder set back off of fully fire-formed cases. This gives me easy repeatable set up and adjustment both ways. Using this method I run the cases through the body die each firing. If they need a set back they get it, if they don't they get none. I feel this keeps my cases in a consistent spec all the time. So if I were to go to grinding I would be measuring what I took off very often and shoot for a head space of .0015" to .002" or a little more if desired. Jeff [/QUOTE]
