[QUOTE="kraky, post: 171613, member: 180"] If you are getting into reloading and enjoy it please do yourself a favor and get the stoney point (now hornady I guess) headspace bushing kit. You don't need the redding shellholders at all....save your money and put it towards the stoney point kit. (I have them and pretty much use them only because I have confidence they hold a tight tolerance and might help keep runnout down.....not for flexibility of headspacing). If you want to be able to play with headspacing and not move the lock ring sinclair offers a shim kit that is really handy called "skips shims" and you can shim from .002" to .020" easily. I always get a kick when people say that just bumping the shoulder is "partial sizing" when it really just plain is correct sizing as you are talking about the final .010-.020" of case travel into the die.....I guess if oversizing your brass is called "full length sizing" then no one should ever do that. One last trick in measuring the case for headspace with the bushing kit...always knock the primer out first as you can get .001-.002" protrusion after firing..sometimes slightly more on non belted cases.
