[QUOTE="JeffVN, post: 207152, member: 2261"] +1 with a Redding body die, even the bushing body die, you can't do it without also modifying teh body at least a touch. I haven't seen it mentioned here yet, but I think the best way is to use a piece of fired brass from that rifle (this of course assumes that you can load or buy loaded ammo for the rifle), then start the process discussed above using one of the guages (I use the RCBS Precision Mic) The precision mic and get an average from about 5 or 6 pieces of fired brass. That will give you the measurement of the fired brass then you set up the die to push that shoulder back 0.001-0.002. I end up using at least 5 pieces of fired brass for the process, but the tweaking of the die takes a bit of trial and error. Once you got you got it for that rifle. JeffVN [/QUOTE]
