[QUOTE="Remmy700, post: 1413704, member: 36564"] There are so many tools now to help with this. For years I would back my die out and resize mainly just part of the neck and body ensuring I was not touching the shoulder until how ever many firings it took to make that round not be able to chamber. Once I reached that point I would then keep screwing my die in a little at a time until I feel it touch the shoulder and would chamber that round and by feel of bolt closure firmness set that die up. Maybe just unexperienced but it worked very well. I have since bought the hornady headspace gauges so I can visually see the numbers but my process still has not changed much. No matter what you do there are going to be some calibers that you are going to have to fire multiple time especially with new brass until it actually grows to the correct dimension of the chamber. Many people will once fire brass and then set their dies up based on those dimensions but more times than not that brass has now grown enough to actually be truly chamber fire formed. [/QUOTE]
