[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 2652809, member: 12282"] +10 to display of civility in this thread. I wish Redding would indeed produce exactly the shell holder doverpack12 is envisioning. Probably in .001 increments to around 5 thousand short. I think they would sell some. Now that many of us put our own guns together and decide for "tight" headspacing, only to later discover we got it a little too tight and cannot resize with perfection. The solution is indeed to hone off a sacrificial shellholder. In the case of the belted mags, the Larry Willis collet reformer is also useful, if the problem is the web beyond the belt. I have heard of guys turning a few thou off the reloading die, but the shell holder is easier for the average guy. Tip: 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper on a flat surface (a few drops of water underneath will hold it in place with surface tension) and then a squirt of wd-40 on the abrasive side. Use a figure of 8 motion, reversing after every 10 or so "8's". Measure frequently, as this will take material off pretty fast. If you screw up, its just a $5 shell holder...... [/QUOTE]
