[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 853477, member: 13632"] I would give the case head a few thou, a case will head will expand very easily the first firing then settles down if you don't allow it a touch of room you'll have issues getting it sized down. I know guys who will just pull a reamer at the end of chambering with a tight reamer to give the case head just a little breathing space at the back to avoid some issues. All the reamers I own, are set up like this from Kiff, the first time I saw how much room was at the base on a custom reamer compared to the new case I was surprised but after firing then sizing down it become clear. Kiff will know what it needs if you get it roughed out and make sure you can make the brass. [/QUOTE]
