[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 472857, member: 13632"] The directions with the dies assume everyone else in the process has also done their job but this is rarely the case. If your gun is sloppily headspaced, but in spec, at the factory you will find yourself over or under sizing and this is NOT the die makers problem! I've re head spaced a couple rifles recently that I had to size with the die up of the shell holder or grind the bottom of the die and after fixing the rifle I set up the dies and found that I get a FL resize with a .0015 shoulder bump with shell holder contact and a slight cam over. Brass life and consistency improved dramatically. This is the nice thing about doing your own work or having quality work done for you, the tolerance stacking is kept to a minimum!!! [/QUOTE]
