[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1407924, member: 78762"] That’s a great question. I use the Redding Competition shell holder kit for my bushing dies. I use a Lee Collet die and a Redding body die for several as well. The Redding body die allows for shell holder contact. There are a few more things to consider when going for consistent set back. Like, if you have several of the same size shell holders, pick one and put the rest up out of sight, and use it for every tool that requires a shell holder. Marking your press where your die it tight so you return there every time. I often think about using a tourque wrench to set the die in the press. But I’m not there yet. Lol. (Mainly because I don’t have a “consistent” enough tourque wrench.lol) Another thing is your measuring method. You can see .001 or more difference in your length just by pushing harder. I guess what I’m saying is, you’re only as good as your tools and methods utilized. You have to be consistent across the board or nothing will be consistent. I’m the first to admit, I still struggle with it. [/QUOTE]
