[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 2700714, member: 101859"] We use the .2 line just spec things out. The click comes from the brass that expands to fit the chamber just in front of the solid web. Different cases have different thickness of solid web. Some the .2 line is close to the problem area, others its up closer to .35-.4. The main thing is, measure the fattest part of your fired case, resize it and measure again. If its bringing it down .001 you will probably be fine in a .284. Not in a magnum though. A .284 is not capable of running very high pressures and the smaller case heads require less squeeze to work. No one size fits all. On a 284 Id spec my sizer .004 under at the base just like you did. You can expect a reamer to be a little over sized. They do it on purpose. There is a tolerance and they dont try to hit the low end. But it does sound like yours is a little fatter than the extra .0005 they allow. [/QUOTE]
