[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2222559, member: 1951"] I read these posts now and again….I always think does the person having the issue really have fully formed brass and is it annealed? IME, once fired brass with a moderate load is about 0.002” short as it exits the chamber. Try getting the die to size to 0.000” or +0.001”. I’ll bet both fit. I just measured some formed brass at 2.158”CBTD. I annealed and resized to 2.156”. Sounds good, right? The next firings closer to max pressure were at 2.160”….hmmmm sizer not setup right. The next round, I will size the 2.160” stuff to 2.160-2.161 and see what max is before I get bolt closing force, then shorten 0.002”. [/QUOTE]
