[QUOTE="Brent, post: 44360, member: 99"] Good point. I'm not sure though, I've never checked mine with one, but if a no-go gauge still will allow you to close the bolt, it would be out of spec. I lower the die "slightly" at a time, monitor the setback closely, it can jump fast if you don't go a tad bit at a time. I get to the point mine is camming over pretty good and I just get enough set back, any more pressure on the die and I'd have to grind some off the die. Comp shellhoders just in case you're camming over hard and still not getting enough, or just plain feel uncomfortable with the amount of added pressure on the system it might take. There's a point were you can tell it's just idiodic to go there, mine just happened to go a little too far at that point, and I backed off and it made the difference for me... I felt comfortable with it. Obviously the setback was lessened about .003" or so, so it was still not forcing the brass into the die as far as it could where I eneded up setting it, but pressure to cam over was increasing like it was just not going any further...
