[QUOTE="Shooter264, post: 1108895, member: 23746"] Obviously you did not read my last post. I was going from memory on the 2.092" measurement. IF the headspace on one of the loaded rounds you got with the gun measured 2.1115" then the 2.092" measurement was wrong. If you bumped a case back to 2.092" now you have excessive headspace. Think about it. If the round you measured that fit the gun well was 2.1115" why would you bump your shoulders back any more than that?? The 2.1115" measurement should be good but like I said before you need to measure to the shoulder on a fired case to see where to size the case back to. Example. If a fired case measured 2.113" then bump your shoulders when you resize to 2.111" and life should be good. A good way to test that is to pull the firing pin out and close the bolt on the resized brass. If the bolt closes with no resistance you are good. If the bolt closes with resistance you have one of three things happening. 1. You need to bump shoulders back a little more. 2. Cases are longer than chamber length and need trimmed. 3. Your die is not sizing the body of the case enough and that is creating resistance (slim possibility but not likely) DONT size any more cases to 2.092"! [/QUOTE]
