[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1288824, member: 28965"] Lapping the shell holder is the simplest and cheapest method and if you screw up you just buy another shell holder and start over. I do my lapping on on a thick piece of glass the size of a sheet of fine wet and dry sandpaper, but anything flat and level will work. Keep rotating the shell holder as you lap in a figure eight motion and measure often to ensure it is even. I would take .002 off at a time until the bolt closes with little resistance. If you get the Hornady cartridge case headspace gauge you can set the shell holder for .001 to .002 shoulder bump. NOTE, Redding competition shell holders push the case into the die from .002 to .010 [COLOR=Red][B]"LESS" [/B][/COLOR]than a standard shell holder. Meaning they will not fix your problem and make it worse, they are used with dies that push the shoulder back too far and sill have the press cam over. [/QUOTE]
