[QUOTE="flashhole, post: 372426, member: 21375"] Not sure I can solve anything for you here but I can share what I do. I drill two holes in two sides of a hex nut. One hole is slightly larger than the fired case neck. This allows me to get a datum on the case shoulder for reference as I size the case. In my gun it turns out my brass only grows .002" at the shoulder when fired. I have to use the entire length of my FL sizer to bump the shoulder back. I find I get better accuracy FL sizing than neck sizing in this gun. A second smaller hole that rests on the bullet ogive and I use it as the datum point when seating bullets. Again, it's a relative measurement, but once established it's easy to get a seating depth for bullets of similar ogive design. [/QUOTE]
