[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 917736, member: 39764"] Myself, I keep 2 reloading manuals handy, the Sierra because I load Sierra pills and I buy direct from them and Hornady because my small bores (22 caliber) are all loaded with Hornady pills. I've seen that in the Sierra loading manual but I use a Hornady headspace gage on the shoulder datum to gage headspace. Much easier than chambering rounds. Any die (insert or solid) will set back the shoulder depending on how close the bottom of the die is when the ram is at it's upmost position. You can also alter how far the die bumps the shoulder by grinding off the base a couple thousands (which I do). Most times you can achieve enough bump without grinding but that depends on the particular chamber. I just ran through 2500 LC 2005 match brass cases over the last week, so my fingers are a bit tender.:D [/QUOTE]
