[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 1969542, member: 87887"] I think what jimbires is saying is that you need to fire new brass a few times to fully expand it to your chamber. So, neck size the rounds and fire them until a freshly reloaded (neck sized only) round is a bit stiff to close the bolt on. Then measure with the case comparator and bump shoulder back .002 from that measurement. If you size once fired back .002, you are almost always creating more headspace than what is needed. [/QUOTE]
