[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1004488, member: 10755"] The fix is simple. Get yourself a set of cheap automotive feeler guages, put a .005" guage under the case AFTER you have adjusted the die so that there is no gap between the shell holder and the die bottom when a case IS in the die during sizing. If there is a gap, then FL sizing is NOT taking place. Use the guages until you get one case to chamber freely, take note of how much it was, then get that much turned off the TOP of the shellholder. Or, I have turned .010" off and .015" off some shellholders and then adjust the same as per the instructions furnished with the die set with good results. I have never needed to remove more than .015" to get correct head clearance on any shell holder I have used. I only use RCBS products, so your product may differ some if not RCBS.
