[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1716626, member: 104268"] Yes, sizing the whole case with a FL die. For most dies and shell holders, for "normal" chambers, the die will actually go all the way down to contacting the shell holder in order to go far enough for a shoulder bump. How hard it presses against the holder (cam-over) will get the last few thousandths necessary to set the shoulder back. I usually start with the die just touching the holder, then proceed down in small increments, measuring each time, until I get the right setback. On all my dies, that's usually within about 1/8th turn from first die/holder contact. [/QUOTE]
