[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1509691, member: 70559"] I think I am a wannabe, but have fun. With that said, I measure every case for headspace when sizing. I set the die to about match the headspace on a fired case by setting it barely [B][I]too long[/I][/B]. (I should mention I have not annealed this brass.) Then size a case. Usually it is too long. I turn the die about a twentieth of a turn down till I get about a thousandths of shoulder set back on a case I have not sized. Then I can expect most to come out the right length. Occasionally one comes out too long. When that happens I turn the tie [B][I]out[/I][/B] barely and run the same case back through. I discovered if I don't turn the die [B][I]out[/I][/B] a little the second time makes the headspace on that case a couple thousandths too short. After that case I turn the die back to the mark where it was. Any cases that come out more than .002" below headspace I use to foul the bore after it is cleaned. The vast majority of the cases come out of the full length sizer with .000" to .001" run out on the neck. But the seated bullets have run out anywhere from .001" to .005". I don't know what to do. I guess this should be a different thread. [/QUOTE]
