[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 1644936, member: 66917"] Be careful pushing the shoulder back more than 0.001 in. to 0.002 in. You will heavily work the web area of your cases and start to have head separations way early in the life of your cases. What I do to set up for this: 1. Take some fired cases and knock the primers out without running them in a sizer-die (see below). 2. Measure the cases from 1 and note the measurement. 3. Run the measured case from 1 into the FL die and re-measure. 4.1 If the resized case is more than 0.002 in. shorter at the shoulder than its un-sized measurement, pull the die and move the die locking ring clock-wise a very small amount to move the die up some. 4.2 If the resized case is less than 0.001 in. shorter at the shoulder than its un-sized measurement, pull the die and move the die locking ring counter clock-wise a very small amount to move the die down some. Keep repeating 4.1 or 4.2 until you get a case close to a .002 in. delta. I use the case holder from the press and a small punch or the sizer-die center piece to punch the primers out. By placing the case holder in a sturdy loading block it gives the primer room to pop out and holds the case nicely. If you already knew this, sorry. You can obviously use those cases you set back 6 thou, they should shoot fine. [/QUOTE]
