[QUOTE="Hunterjones, post: 2147541, member: 112130"] The Hornady gauges which measure case head to ogive and case head to shoulder are worth every bit of the money you’ll spend on them......if you are loading hunting ammo, measure your fired cases and set your resizing die to set the shoulder back .003-.005 (three to five thousandths). Cases will last several firings and should feed and chamber quite reliably when sized that much. Usually you will have to screw your sizing due down an 1/8 of a turn or so from when it touches your shell holder to get this much set back. The gauges will tell you exactly how much you’re bumping the shoulders back [/QUOTE]
