I decided to get a headspace gauge so that I could see just how far the shoulders were moving foward and how far the Redding body die was setting them back. Rifle is chambered in 7STW. Here is what I noticed:
New Rem 8mm mag cases = 2.448"
Cases fired several times = 2.468"
Cases after being run through the body die adjusted tight to the shellholder = 2.458"
Not sure where all this leaves me. Anyone else take these measurements on their 7STW?
