Mag. Here are the facts: 1. Remington cases, once fired--right at maximum case length but still OK--primer pockets uniformed and flash holes deburred. 2. Cases were fired in my bolt action and when I take a reading in the RCBS Precision Mic, they show a relative reading of +1. I take this, within a thousandth or so, of the same dimension in my rifle. 3. So, to be safe, I decide to push the shoulder back so that a reading on the case will be - .002. 4. I set up the RCBS resizing die by running it down until contact is made with the shell holder. I then turn the die down by eighth to quarter turns. Early on, the case is deprimed, as expected, and the neck-sizer ball slides through fine. As I keep turning the die down, eventually, I feel the case resize. 5. But a measurement in the RCBS Mic shows the shoulder in exactly the same place. I turned the die down finally, FIVE FULL TURNS and still see no pushback of the shoulder whatsoever. I am almost certain I am committing some really boneheaded error, but I think I followed instructions to the letter. Any ideas? (Editing to add that I told my wife I had run into some problems with my reloading and would need to leave my equipment on the table and my press stand out of the closet until I checked what was wrong with the forum.
