[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1561890, member: 28965"] When you full length resize a fired case you reduce the case diameter and this squeezes the case shoulder upward in the die. Meaning if the die is adjusted .010 to .020 upward it is possible to make the resized case longer than the chamber headspace. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/wm05ArY.gif[/IMG] Using the primer method you can find your chambers actual headspace. Then resize a fired case adjusting the die upward with a .020 feeler gauge between the die and shell holder. Now keep using thinner feeler gauges until the case headspace is .001 to .002 is shorter than your primer method measurement. The same thing can be done with Redding competition shell holders that gives you .010 bump to play with instead of using feeler gauges. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/7FfXhJ7.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
