[QUOTE="drenge, post: 419858, member: 9300"] Guys I need help on this on. I have a redding body die for my 7mm Rem Mag. When my headspace measures 2.122 it gets tough to close the bolt. I set the die up by screwing the die down until it contacts the top of the shell holder. I then tighten it down and run a lubed case through it. The headspace measurement doesn't change after I've run the ram all the way up to the top of a stroke - and my shell holder is hitting the die! So how do I bump my shoulder back .002 if my shell holder is already up against the die and I can't go any further? Could it be that my gunsmith used a bad reamer? I would like to get my headspace down to 2.119 where it seems to fit just fine. I've also order the redding comp shell holders for the 7mm rm - but obviously it won't matter if I'm already against the die (or will it?) Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
