[QUOTE="jbs2014, post: 2346034, member: 94052"] A set of shims can help. Put a .001 or .002 on top of the shell holder and screw the die down on top of them till it is tight. Tighten the lock ring, size the case, and then measure and see if you get the desired result. You may want to start with an annealed case to prevent any brass spring back. To prevent case stretching keep the sides of the case well lubed. I have heard that for hunting rifles .003 setback may be preferable, anybody know if that is the case? [/QUOTE]
