[QUOTE="PowellSixO, post: 1030176, member: 66495"] I don't know if I'm doing it the right way, but with my 7mm I do as follows: -I put the case holder in the ram -I raise the ram -I screw the RCBS full length sizing die until it touches the case holder, and then back it off a quater turn -I then take a once fired case (fired from my rifle) and use a headspace gauge to measure the case from the shoulder to the base -I clean and lube the case and run it through the die -I then remeasure the case from the shoulder to the base to see how far I've moved the shoulder -I then keep adjusting the die until I get the shoulder pushed back as far as I want it -I then run the rest of the brass through the die I'm thinking of getting away from the full length sizing die though, and going to a collet neck sizing die. From what I've read, using a collet neck sizing die will eliminate the need to turn your necks, and it greatly improves your bullet runout. I'm going to purchase one and see if it improves my accuracy. I also need to get a RCBS CaseMaster Gauging Tool, so I can start measuring my cases and bullet runout. So many things I want to buy :). I thought reloading was going to save me money....... :rolleyes:. Or at least that's how I pitched the idea to the wifey :D. [/QUOTE]
