[QUOTE="HSmithTX, post: 2704956, member: 121677"] You need to measure it at the shoulder using a comparator. Then add that measurement to all the other measurements for fired brass vs new brass and figure out where it is getting hung up. If you don't have a comparator order one, in the meantime you can mark up a case with a sharpie, I think blue works best, try to chamber a couple pieces and see where the marking is rubbed off. If it's the shoulder you can bump back one thousandth at a time until it closes with a little tension, then go back one and a half to two thousandths more and go. The hard part is figuring out how much is a thousandth, your dies are 99% an 8 pitch thread so they more .125" per full rotation, to adjust one thousandth you need to move 1/125th of a rotation. Or measure it with the comparator and get within a thousandth or two and know you are within a thousandth or two LOL. [/QUOTE]
