[QUOTE="can1010, post: 2011259, member: 43193"] my opinion is that you need to spec the reamer larger in the base for more clearance. Hornady brass is .5295-.530 and the ADG is .5305-.531 and the reamer is .533 that don't leave much clearance for case expansion, work hardening, and spring back when sizing. I am going to spec a reamer from .533 to .5345 at the 200 line and from .5168 to .5173 at shoulder this will let me still use standard dies and get .004 sizing in base and .003 at shoulder. the tighter spec. that they have now are ok if you don't run them at redline all the time. I have Hornady brass that got 15 reloads and never lost the primer pockets the necks starter to split and the base work hardened causing the sizing problem. the ADG might not even last that long because they start fatter in base than Hornady.
