[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 299354, member: 4885"] I simply remove the die from my press and pull a bullet using pliers, just grab ahold of it and then lower the ram and feel how it pulls. You are going to ruin the bullet, but you will be able to tell if you are vastly tighter or looser than the factory loads. You can adjust tension by using bushing dies. Turning the necks of your brass (not really recommended as a method). You can also make sure that no lubricant is left inside your necks before you seat your bullets. You can also [U]lightly [/U]crimp your load (depending on the cartridge and your die set) (not really a typical answer to the load tension question for most LR cartridges). Read the Zediker book "Reloading for Competition". [url=http://www.zediker.com/books/handloading/hlmain.html]Zediker Publishing[/url] AJ [/QUOTE]
