[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1770669, member: 38048"] I talked to griz and found out a little more that helps solve the big picture. First is he has always adjusted dies by the directions. Touch shell holder to die and lock down. Has worked for him until now. This 300prc die must be crushing his brass way more than it should. Easy to fix if you know how to measure case headspace which he didn't have the tools to measure with. He has the tools and knows how to do it now and I believe he will have perfect resuts next set of brass. As far as the 243 brass he was measuring brass that was factory unfired and then measuring it again unfired but sized. That's why it seemed like it was doing headspace and only 3/4 of the neck at same time. I'm pretty sure he is going to nail his die setup next time. He has a very perfect stable of cartridges to work with to. They are all on my favorite list. If it was only taught to set up dies off of headspace numbers you get from your brass from your rifle this could have been prevented. It's just not the common knowledge gained from manuals and instruction. It needs learned from places like here and from mentors at the range. I know I didn't learn it in a book. Shep [/QUOTE]
