[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1108662, member: 5219"] Magnummaniac, Guess you missed this: "very noticeable spring in the press and the end of the stroke. If the die is turned down any farther a full stroke is not obtainable." I use feeler gauges to help set the die the correct depth. In this situation the OP needs MORE sizing not less. j3564wost: I have encountered the issue of a die not sizing a case enough even with the "noticeable spring" from going over the top with the press. Some rifles done by my gunsmith were headspaced on the short side. Simplest way is to grind off some of the surface of the shell holder. Based on your measurements you are almost there. More severe sizing can be accomplished by removing some material from the bottom of the die. Try the shell holder first. Let us know what happens. [/QUOTE]
