[QUOTE="woods, post: 242099, member: 6042"] Yes, that's correct. Always headspace on the shoulder but you have to get there first. Unfortunately, most if not all the brass manufacturers put twice as much space between their new brass shoulders and most chambers. There is one other method which might alleviate case stretch at the web and that is seating the initial seating of the bullet well into the lands to keep the firing pin from pushing the case forward. That is what I do now but I don't have any definitive proof it actually accomplishes anything. Anyway, guess we're hijacking this thread. BTW, since you are an entrepeneur of repute in reloading gear, why don't you pick up the slack that Hornady is leaving with a hydraulic form die. It wouldn't necessarily have to be custom made for a specific chamber, just have it push the shoulder out and the reloader could push it back where he wanted. If you use that I should get free dies for life from you, agreed? [/QUOTE]
