[QUOTE="JeffP40, post: 565409, member: 6625"] Back your sizing die off a turn or two. Size a case and see if it fits. If it does, back it off some more. If it still fits, you will have to make sure the neck is gettring sized enough. If it will not hold a bullet properly, take the die back down until it does. Then you are sizing enough for your rifle. If it does not fit, then take the die down until it does. Again, you are now sizing properly. You have to fit to your chamber and neck. The instructions are to make sure every round will fit every chamber just like factory ammo. After the handloader gets some experience, they will find, like you, there is room for adjustment. This method also works for belted cases. Just ignore the belt and size to fit. The belt was originally used for headspace on cases with little or no neck. With normal bottlemeck cartridges, it is not necessary. [/QUOTE]
