[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2257966, member: 66917"] I am using Hornady brass, so what I did may not work with the thicker ADG brass. I am using the Hornady match grade die set. I get 7-9 reloads before primer pockets start randomly going. I usually anneal after every use so my necks last and are nice and consistent. I know about the close chamber case size issue, this is why I tried this to save some brass. I was just trying something out the normal .002 bump dogma and it worked out for my rifle. My clickers and tight closing brass has completely gone away. It took a a lot of moving the die up and down until I hit the sweet spot. Luckily I had lots of fired brass to play with. I was paying careful attention to the .002 web area and the shoulder to base length distance using the 420 insert. Another note on something I noticed on the Hornady brass was any piece that had been over pressured ie. caught an ejector mark for example, the web area just would not size down below about 0.533, so those got tossed. For anyone reading this that has not measured the head space length (base to shoulder center) you need to punch out the primer before measuring as primers can back out some on firing and this will skew measurements. Using a small punch and a shell holder to hold the case works pretty good if you don't have a decapper die. [/QUOTE]
