[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 373160, member: 1521"] JE's right. IMO, Shooters take reloading references/SAAMI this & that too literally. [John Smith is concerned because his 243Win turned into a 243JohnSmith on firing, and now he can’t squish it back into a 243Win, as referenced in a book]. Well, he might not ever, and this is probably not a problem. When you screwed the die down till it stopped, it was merely stopping at an interference fit up on the body. As you screwed it down & sized further, you squished your brass inward and it took the easiest alternate path -LENGTH. It could get longer because your die was not far enough down to stop it from getting longer. Right near the fullest extent of your adjustment, the shoulders were not only contained, but pushed back. If this window of needed adjustment isn't working, then you need finer adjustments within it, or get another die which is not so difficult. Better be looking at more than just bumping with the extremes you're describing though. As mentioned, the competition shellholder set provides very fine adjustment, and discard the o-ring floating for this. [/QUOTE]
