[QUOTE="SWHandldr, post: 2518179, member: 114858"] Pay attention to the Hornady guy saying (more than once) "reset the case to the SAAMI minimum." This usually means excessive resizing (0.0010 or more) of the fired case, resulting in decreased case life and reduced accuracy. Getting better case life and accuracy entails resizing fired rifle cases having a shoulder enough to chamber in the firearm in which it was fired and no more: 0.002 - 0.004 or so. Doing so requires a decent micrometer and a case gauge set (Hornady makes a decent one). Google 'bumping the shoulder' You should find multiple YT videos and or forum discussions, here and on other forums. [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYzXJGKyxt0']Here[/URL] is one of many.
