[QUOTE="sedancowboy, post: 2663933, member: 85874"] Since you have all the fancy measuring tools there. Did you measure from the datam line of the cartridge to the base? I am willing to bet that during resizing you have lengthened that dimension. As you resize the brass it reduces the Dia and that brass has to go some where and so the length grows until the shoulder pushes it back. If that is the case then you simply need to lower your die a little until you get about .002 set back on the Shoulder with a Hornady headspace gauge. Meant to say that it will not hurt to fire them and resize latter since you already have some loaded. [/QUOTE]
