[QUOTE="19 Badger, post: 1778439, member: 107918"] These are very important tools in my opinion to set your dies up correctly the first time. Full length size your brass and bump the shoulder back .002-.003". The headspace comparator will help you do just that by measuring a fired case(measure case before you fire it as well). Make sure you remove the spent primer to aquire an accurate headspace measurement, sometimes the spent primer will slightly protude a thou or so and throw off your measurement. Always measure your loaded rounds off of the ogive for a more consistant measurement, overall length only matters for magazine length restrictions. Your brass will last a long time when sized properly. Buy good brass.... [/QUOTE]
