[QUOTE="C Harrison, post: 1001512, member: 76871"] Hornady makes a caliper attachment that can measure the base to datum length. Measure the fired brass, then run your full length die down in small increments until you see a shoulder set back of .002 or however far you think you may need. Then, I mark the die and the press with a marker to get an index for next time. It is pretty close but make sure to make fine adjustments as needed. I think the Forester shoulder bump die works the same. If you are running a belted magnum, a FL die is a god idea due to the area above the belt needing a little squeeze. [/QUOTE]
