[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 58672, member: 12"] Just to throw a little confusion into the situation, if you have not got it worked out try this. Sometimes you resize too much and push out the edge of the shoulder and that causes it not to chamber. I never start with the die set to "cam over". Start high and work down. Too much resizing (ie pushing the shoulder back too far) is not good either. Back the die up and then take a candle and smoke the case neck and shoulder. This allows you to see exact point of contact on the neck and shoulder. Start sizing and moving the die down a half turn at a time until you can see inital shoulder contact on the case with the smoking. At this point it helps to have a specially made bump guage, RCBS case mike or stoney point tool to measure the shoulder to base length. Super easy to measure inital unfired length, fired and then what you need to chamber. It only takes .001 shoulder setback to chamber once you have it set. Redding makes a set of competion shellholders that are .002 increments that allows you to bump the shoulder in .002 increments without ever changing the die setup. Cost is $35. BH [/QUOTE]
