[QUOTE="aushunter1, post: 1819007, member: 57533"] Do you actually have a headspace gauge to measure what is going on at the datum?? Doesn't matter the brand of die I still use the same process. Write down the measurement on factory unfired round/case(or just use SAAMI length if there is one). As I mostly neck size so I measure a case that is starting to take a bit of effort to close the bolt(around 5 firings). Adjust the die down until I get 1 or 2 thou clearance at the datum. Some of the dies had to be in cam over to get this which is not how they say to set up a die. The case will be stretched before you get to that point. Write these measurements down in your reloading log book FFR. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.hornady.com/headspace-bushings#!/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
