[QUOTE="Gene, post: 913752, member: 7402"] This is the sticky about FL resizing. Overworking the brass leads to short life and increased headspace. First, if you are reloading for a hunting rifle, neck sizing may at some point leave you with one than won't chamber. Some folks FL size every time which is OK if done correctly. To do so correctly, start with shell holder touching bottom of the die. If the case will chamber easily, leave it there. If not, shoulder has moved forward and needs to be pushed back. With firing pin assembly removed, move the die down about 1/16th turn, and try again. Keep doing this until the case will chamber, then stop. [/QUOTE]
