[QUOTE="SammySTW, post: 1839748, member: 109958"] I know there have been a lot of threads on this and I searched through some of them and didn't find what I'm looking for. I have a new 22 Creedmoor and a set of Whidden dies, FL and seater. I set the FL die in my press as usual, following the directions giving it about 1/8-1/4 turn after contacting the shell holder for a little bit of pressure. I measured to the shoulder of a virgin case and a once fired case and I think they were about .007 apart. I pressed the once-fired case in the FL die and it bumped the shoulder way too much, like almost .030". I backed the die out until I got about .002" bump, but now there is no contact between the die and the shell holder. I've never run into this before, but does it really matter that much if the shell holder doesn't contact the die? Should I try a different shell holder? [/QUOTE]
