[QUOTE="huntoregon, post: 1819916, member: 77911"] Ok back to this topic. This whole deal has turned into a giant ball of confusion for me but also a lot of good info came out of this thread for rookies like me. A little more background, my father in law was given this rifle, brass, and the dies from his uncle. So I think this turned into the telephone game. Now my father in law is telling me the brass may already be fire formed. So I have a couple new questions: 1- What is a sure fire way for me to know if it has been fire formed? Are there certain areas on the case I can measure that would be a tell tale? 2-If it is already fire formed, I am assuming I was getting these dents because the die was set wrong and I was crushing the shoulder. What is the appropriate method for setting the die up and making sure the case fits the chamber right? Side note I just measure the neck opening on a couple of these fired cases at 6.90mm for what that’s worth. [/QUOTE]
