[QUOTE="bman73, post: 539033, member: 31591"] Okay, after some more reading on headspace and headspacing problems I think that I have found out what it was I did wrong. If I'm not allowed to post this link then moderators feel free to remove it, but I found it an informative article, especially since it has in big bold lettering exactly what I did, and telling people to never do this. [url=http://www.gswagner.com/headspace/headspace.html]Some Random Thoughts on Headspace, Headspace Measurement and Gauges[/url] I have been setting my die just like it said in the instructions, contact with the shell holder then 1/4 more and lock it so that it overcams on the travel. I must have tightened it up a bit more than usual this time,either that or my locking ring came loose and I have since forgotten about it after just retightening. Hopefully this experience will help someone else from making the same mistake. I know I won't ever do it like that again. Thanks to all for your help and insight, now hopefully I can still mange to save some of that new brass using some of the tips I got on here [/QUOTE]
