[QUOTE="tackdriver10, post: 373235, member: 21430"] Statjunk, when you resized the second piece of fire-formed brass, did you notice whether the shellholder was coming in contact with the die? I'm thinking you may be out of stroke and the die may need some material removed from the bottom so that the case can go in farther. I've seen this on more than one occasion. You could always spend more money and purchase the shellholders from Redding that allow you to adjust the height. Usually, .010 or so off the end of the die will fix your problem, if in fact thats whats going on. Another tip, is when you get ready to adjust your die, (screw it down), take a measurement with your calipers from the top of the die down to the flat spot where it screws in. Adjust, then take another measurement, this will tell you have far you have actually screwed the die down. No, SAAMI specs aren't the most important factor, but when using your mics, it gives you a reference to go by, and you can set your brass wherever you need it. Its simply for reference. [/QUOTE]
