[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 992876, member: 10755"] Are you sure you are adjusting the die down enough? Just having the die in contact with the shell holder WITHOUT a case installed in the press is NOT FL sizing, or even close to it. The shoulder moves forward when the brass is sized, then you must adjust your die until a case chambers with slight resistance, then with some head clearance. Are you camming over? If not, adjust your die for full contact with the shell holder, then screw it IN 1/16-1/8 turn, size a case as you normally would, clean it, try to chamber it, if stiff, repeat until the bolt 'just' closes with some resistance, then another 1/32 turn IN will give you around .002"-.003" head clearance. For more precise adjustment use 1/16 turns, and disassemble your firing pin from the bolt, or if it has a 3 position safety, use the middle setting, it takes the firing pin spring pressure off the bolt lugs. Hope this helps. Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
