[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1440155, member: 28965"] You do not need to fire the case several times to get the shoulder to max chamber length if full length resizing. When full length resizing the case shoulder is squeezed upward in the die as the case body is reduced in diameter. And its possible to make the case longer than the chamber headspace and the case will not chamber. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/wm05ArY.gif[/IMG] You can place a .010 feeler gauge between the die and shell holder and screw the die down until it contacts the feeler gauge on top of the shell holder. Then if the case does not chamber go to a thinner .008, .006, .004 etc until the case chambers without resistance. You can also buy Redding competition shell holders and do the same thing without adjusting the die. [img]https://i.imgur.com/7FfXhJ7.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
