[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 318186, member: 12"] You can do either the shell holder or the bottom of the die. That will fix you problem and done it more than once. Redding sells a set of comp shellholders that are .002 variance in height that you can buy that will work also. So that is a proven technique. As for camming over the press handle. Once you have actual metal to metal contact you are not going to squeeze them any closer by setting the die deeper unless you are the Hulk and can squeeze steel. It just will not cam over as far. So that is normally not a fix that I have seen if we are talking over .002 or so. Shaving .010 to .020 off the bottom of dies works reliably and is a pretty routine and proven fix again. Will sized cases chamber without pressure? if so, then you probably have an OAL issue and need to set the bullet deeper. Lubing, either Imperial die wax or Dillon spray lube in a cake pan works well. Might as well buy a stuck case remover from RCBS also. If you reload long enough, you will need it again. Removes the case quite easily without damaging the die too. BH [/QUOTE]
