[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1314389, member: 2736"] +1 I have a little different concept of caming over. I consider it as touching the shell holder with the dies and loading the press beyond the force needed to size the brass. caming over is old school and was recommended when dies were made to tolerances that required this process. and separate dies were needed for any sizing smaller than SAMMI dimensions (These dies were called "Small base dies" and were normally used for Simi-autos for ease of chambering. Quality dies have a much broader range of adjustments today so caming over is not necessary to full size your brass. In fact, most high end dies have the full range of adjustments in order to get the sizing you need. With the old dies that require cam over settings in order to get full sizing, a shim between the case head and the shell holder will give you what you want without grinding some of the shell holder top off or caming over.
