[QUOTE="jdmecomber, post: 1423227, member: 94549"] Anyone use these? From the maker of the collet die: Joseph, The gauge on top of out [I]Belted Magnum Collet Resizing Die[/I] shows the average SAAMI spec chamber. However, that may not be the same asYOUR particular chamber. Years ago, I found that shooters were using our collet die to over-resize their cases. The instructions now say to reduce the diameter of your handloads [B].[/B]001” smaller than one of your [U]FIRED[/U] cases. That makes your handloads fit very well in your chamber. Many of our collet die customers come back to get the [I]Digital Headspace Gauge[/I], because it does the job of several different reloading tools, and it works on ALL different calibers without requiring expensive attachments or special bushings. It accurately reduces the headspace of your chamber. I've found that most handloaders need to keep a much closer eye on their chamber clearance (at the shoulder). This clearance should be kept to a minimum, like -[B].[/B]002" or less. This requires going beyond the instructions that come with reloading dies. I designed the [I]Digital Headspace Gauge[/I]to show exactly how YOUR handloads fit in YOUR particular chamber. This information is displayed after comparing one of your resized cases to one of your fired cases. Then you can accurately adjust your FL die height to make your handloads fit perfectly - without guessing about chamber clearance. Here are some pics of some loaded rounds. [/QUOTE]
