[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1891425, member: 69478"] If you don’t have headspace comparators, here’s what I’d do. Take you firing pin assembly out of your bolt and remove the plunger ejector if your bolt has one. You’re going to need a few cases that were fired in your chamber. Set your seating die so the die bottoms out on the shell holder like normal, then back off 1/2 a turn. Size a case and see if the bolt closes with just freely dropping it. Most likely it won’t. Take another case and run your die down 1/8 turn and repeat trying to chamber it with just letting the bolt fall. Do this until the bolt will freely close and open up with no resistance. Set your die and you’re done. [/QUOTE]
