[QUOTE="gunaddict62791, post: 449184, member: 27409"] Just getting into reloading and having a slight dilemma finding information i need. For reloading my .308 i have a set of RCBS fl dies, and set them to bump the shoulder back .001 - .002 using the hornady lock-n-load headspace gauge. There are a few questions that i still need addressed. 1) When do i need to reset the die to achieve the same .001 - .002 shoulder set back? [ between every case, between every reload secession [I]ie. after once fired...twice fired...three times fired... ect.[/I] , when i switch brass brand ,ever...?] 2) How should i set my fl die to handle new unfired brass? I'm guessing that how it is set to handle once fired fire formed brass from my chamber will not even size brand new brass... Once it is fired out of my chamber can i then go back to the original setting i had for once fired brass to bump the shoulder as long as it is the same kind? 3) If i bought once fired brass fired out of a different chamber how should i set my die to handle this? If possible explain how you do it... not how the instructions that come with the die tells you how to as many suggest that all these instructions are good for is toilet paper:D. I am looking for minimal brass stress. Any information would be a great help. Thanks [/QUOTE]
