[QUOTE="cajun, post: 3021274, member: 9772"] Get a hornady headpsace comparator set. You basically use the comparator to measure the brass with your caliper. Then screw your sizing die down until it hits the shell holder and back it off 1/2 turn. Size a piece of brass until your brass is .002 smaller than your fired brass measurement. I think this is really important with belted mags as they will stretch and cause case head seperation if oversized. I dont like just neck sizing hunting brass although sone guys do it. But eventually you will have to bump the shoulder back anyway or it wont chamber. [/QUOTE]
