[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 2003110, member: 38048"] The op was originally correct in assuming the body only sizing die did everything but the neck. Been some other threads where this was discussed. If only die companies would use specs that were . 005 shorter than minimum sammi spec then they all would work. But alot of dies are made as much as . 015 too deep. They have to make the dies shorter than minimum because even if they got it exactly at minimum and a chamber was cut perfect the die still wouldn't be able to get setback of the shoulder. Unless you modify your shell holder. Or cut the bottom of the die. It's not a hard concept. A little too short we just adjust the die up a tiny bit and all is good. A little too deep and it can't do what it was designed to do. As a smith I have specs I have to hit. Shouldn't they also have to hit specs too. Seems not. Shep [/QUOTE]
