[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2286942, member: 10755"] This is exactly what I was going to suggest. I will add a little more to the story, however. Using a different piece of brass each time, place a .002” gauge under the head, size it, clean it and chamber it. If still tight, try a .003” and so on until you get just a little resistance closing the bolt, then add another .001” to that number. Once all this is done, buy another shell holder, they’re cheap, then have .010” turned off the top of it and then adjust your die to suit the amount of bump you require. Keep that shell holder in the die box for the rest of that barrels life. One other piece of advice….dump those Hornady dies in the trash! They are JUNK. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
