[QUOTE="dennisinaz, post: 1763917, member: 40966"] You're missing the point. Brass is NOT perfect. Again, I refer you to seating bullets. I have had brass that was BRAND new out of the blue box. A few, a very few. seated hard and a few, seated light. I have seen the same thing with annealed and cleaned brass. If the brass is just hanging out there, you don't know for sure where it is stopping. If it cams over, you know where it's stopping. You use competition shell holders to keep from setting the should back too much. I have also been around precision loading for 30+ years and I also build precision rifles. I have spent enough time with Mic to know that, although he has his quirks, he is a very bright dude and a consummate experimenter. If he tells me this is a big deal, I have to believe he has empirically proven it. As far as the rifle in question here, a separated case is almost always a result of excessive headspace. Why this rifle/ ammo combo has it is the hundred dollar question. Backing the die off will allow him to change his setback but is a shortcut for the proper method. [/QUOTE]
