[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1019999, member: 48559"] I use Redding Competition shellholders to resize. These come in sets of 5 and are machined in +.002" increments longer than standard. After shooting virgin cases in my rifle, I measure headspace (using the shoulder angle bump gauge inserts for my comparator and caliper) and use whichever shellholder size gives me .002" or less bump back. While many simply back the die up in the press to partial resize, that method can result in inconsistencies we don't want. Using the shellholders lets you get the headspace you need and still set up the die tight (slight cam-over) in the press so it is consistent. The shellholder set is cheaper than neck-sizing dies made for the purpose. [/QUOTE]
