[QUOTE="woods, post: 1403768, member: 6042"] ^^^^^ This **** shame I had to read through 8 pages to get to it and it is the most important aspect IMO You have to find out the internal dimensions of your chamber and use that dimension to then set your shoulder back .001" to .002" to be accurate. IOW if you set your FL die or Body Die to set the shoulder back on once fired brass the probability that you are sizing too much is about 85% IMO. On belted case the probability is 100%. I have measured belted case shoulders that have moved .030" forward and once fired will not move the shoulder that much. It takes 3 or 4 firings. To do that you need to neck size UNTIL you get a crush fit and then full length if you want to. Personally, I prefer Lee Collets and Redding Body Dies. Don't like jerking expander balls through necks and bushing dies do not yield as low a runout number as Lee Collets. YMMV [/QUOTE]
