[QUOTE="DUSTY NOGGIN, post: 1509486, member: 89550"] so since the extraction problem is fixed, dont go down this rabbit hole .... yet . you will eventually when full length sizing the die squeezing the side wall of the case body , the brass has to flow/go somewhere , and the only place for it to go is up .. i suspect that is why you are seeing it grow in length (( not dragging the expander past it )) because there is a void inside your die still (( i say that because you bottomed out a full length sizer solid on the shell hoilder )) , which is telling you that your brass has probably not grown as previously suspected (( it was assumed because of your neck sizing leads to high probability of that happening )) my guess is that your brass hasn't grown to the size of the chamber yet . the .002 reduction , is supposed to be less chamber length depth headspace , usually your longest brass is the chamber depth, so dropping 2 thousands off of that is normal ,, BUT only if you know your cases are blown out to the full chamber size i dont think you need to bump anything back or grind any thing yet , your thinking here is a possibility , so you may want to test and do the same sizing without the expander in the die .. then, compare against your previous measurements .. if you get the same measurements you havent blown out the brass enough yet , but if you do get less measurement then you are correct in your thinking of lengthening the shoulder by dragging the expander through it.
