[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1095760, member: 4191"] You could grind a little (like 0.010") off the bottom of the resizing die so that the die can be screwed down a smidgeon further into your press. The shoulder will then be easy to set back a few more thousandths, which is what I suspect is needed for the casings to chamber. You'd shouldn't have to grind much off the base of the FL sizing die at all. I'd only take 0.010" off and see if the die will then set the shoulders back far enough to chamber. It won't compromise the function of your reloading die in any way. I'm surprised the factory RCBS die won't set the shoulders back far enough to chamber the cases. I'd blacken a couple of the casings with a black felt pen - then attempt to chamber them - then inspect carefully to confirm the location of interference. Edit add-on: Or if you know someone with a lathe, they could remove 0.010" from the base of you die and it would look a little better than if done on a bench grinder. But a bench grinder will gitt'er done too. [/QUOTE]
