[QUOTE="257speed, post: 81683, member: 2314"] Nowler is correct, if he is getting 3 to 5 thousandths backout, this means there is a gap behind the case and the front of the bolt. This my friends is called EXCESS HEADSPACE! And 3-5 thousandths is not good. It is most likely caused by a sizing die that is not set up properly and is bumping the shoulder back a slight amount. Start over with some new brass and set up your sizing die to fit the fired case, ignoring the manufacturers suggestion of turning it down to the shell holder. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
