[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1826504, member: 10755"] The simplest method, without measuring tools, is to screw the FL die in until it touches the shellholder, then screw it out half a turn. Size a case, clean it and try to chamber it. In all but the longest chambers this will result in a no go situation. Using a different case each time, screw the die in 1/12 of a turn and try again. Keep doing this until a case can close the bolt on with some resistance, then screw the die in an additional 1/24 turn, if this gives slight resistance, do another. You want a little clearance. This method has always given me close to .003" bump, which I have confirmed with the Hornady bump gauge set. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
