[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2164679, member: 10755"] The question should be; what’s the likelihood of a chamber being .010” too short? I set my 375 Weatherby chamber to be absolute minimum in head to shoulder datum. That was a mistake. Either RCBS or Redding dies WOULD NOT move the shoulder with the shell holder in hard contact with the die bottom. Had to trim .010” off a shell holder just to get .001” reduction in head to datum length. It is quite common to get long dies, have the same trouble with many of my own chambered barrels with minimum chamber headspace. The die may be at maximum tolerance while the chamber is at minimum. Anyway, if the OP sizes the cases to just fit his chamber, there will be zero issues with the die sizing the brass. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
