[QUOTE="MuleHunter, post: 618326, member: 14190"] If you have a comparator for checking the length of your loaded rounds to the Ogive you can buy a cheap insert that will allow you to measure your headspace. You can buy them at Sinclair's or even Sportman's. I fireform a new case and measure the once fired case to see what my headspace is. Then i adjust the die to give me .0015" headspace clearance. Once the headspace is adjusted i run the case into my chamber to check fit. If it is still tight i check the case head in front of the exctractor grove. My unfired brass measures .5515" and max loads for me yield a .5535". I trim every fired case. Between these methods i have never had tight feeding problems. I use Redding FL Bushing dies. For lube i use Hopps #9 and run a small bead down the side of the case and work it back and forth with my fingers until the whole case is lubed from the shoulder to the base. Using this method i only have to lube every 3rd case. I use Titanium Nitrided bushings. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
