[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 663391, member: 9253"] I think what I missed was which direction the Redding shell holder set moves the position of the case relative to the die. I checked further and the Redding shell holders are functionally like putting a shim between the die body and the rim of the shell holder. ebsarge needs to make the die effectively shorter if he needs to bump longer brass back to his chamber length. On a rimless case like the 30-06 that could be done by just shortening the rim of a shell-lolder. On a rimmed or belted magnum case it would require shortening the face of the die and equally deepening the groove for the rim or belt. But unless the brass is already too long I don't see why the shoulder needs to be bumped back. The fired brass length should be ok with normal pressure loads. Its unusual to see a factory chamber on a rifle that won't accept a case sized with a standard factory die at least for for a SAAMI registered cartridge. Maybe there's some other problem, though I can't guess what. Bolts got swapped perhaps? [/QUOTE]
