[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 1131852, member: 9172"] Update...I posted this over at accurat shooter also.....here is where I am at. Ok, on Dusty's advice I started to do some testing with my FL die (Redding "S") that came from Defensive Edge. I measured the head space on un-fired case with the .420 tool and set that number to zero. I grabbed the shops feeler gauge and slid the .0025 under the case and ran it through the die. Head space INCREASED BY .0020!! I grabbed another case and the .004 gauge......head space stayed long by .002. Went all the way up to the .007 gauge. Brass now fits in gun , but the head space still shows .001 LONGER than before it went into the die!! I tried the .375 tool....same thing!! I bumped SOMETHING back .007, but I don't know what it was. I got to have a die problem! The die had been set for the old lot of REM brass, locked up, and NEVER adjusted. I got 7 firings on the Rem brass with no case streach and only PP issues. I had a 300 wby that acted the same way....the dies double radius did not match the chamber's and I had an awfull time with that tube/die combo. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
