[QUOTE="Bitis Arietans, post: 1288727, member: 100628"] Thanks Big Ed, W Rose, Dosh and all of the folks that have contributed! The problem that I am having difficulty understanding is ... Why doesn't a case that I have FL Sized (that started as new brass, shot only once in the same rifle) not chamber well (tight)?? In my way of thinking... we resize the case to get it back to spec, Yes? I've "markered-up" the case... and after chambering the case, No "significant" marks were seen. I must get a head space gage...I guess... and check what is happening after the round is fired in this rifle. I think that I must now learn that the Sizing Die can be adjusted somewhat. I have loaded for 2 different 30.06's and never changed the way I set the Sizing Die...so, if I understand.. Just setting the Die per RCBS: "Screw down the die to till it contacts the shell holder, then down a 1/8 to 1/4 turn" is a one size fits all approach? The BUMPING of the neck is what I have to play with and understand better. The graphics that Big Ed posted makes it much clearer...I think doing it may be another matter I will keep at it after I make a couple of purchases to get the head space tools. I will likely reach out again soon. I heard NS Dies increase brass life also...so I bought them for all of my calibers...but abandoned them after a NS round wound chamber in my Dakota Mod, 10 Falling Block [/QUOTE]
