[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 968026, member: 10178"] The way to set up a sizing die to full length size a case is to screw the die all the way down to the shell holder with the ram all the way up. Then back the ram away and screw the sizing die 1/8 to 1/4 a turn down more. This will allow you to take all the spring out of the press. This will make what most call the press cam over when you raise the ram all the way. Place that case into the chamber of your rifle and see how the bolt closes. If it closes easy you have sized the case enough. It looks like your case has been sized from the web of the case forward just like it should be. Back toward the rim of the case where it looks like no sizing was done is because this area is not supposed to expand. If that head area expands you are over pressure for the load. [/QUOTE]
