[QUOTE="thebigunit, post: 776531, member: 63673"] Bart, thanks for your response. I've read hundreds of your posts over the last 3 years and value your knowledge. as to the lube, I'm using Imperial, just running the body between my fingers, very light coat. I pulled most of the cotton off my Q Tip and using it to lightly lube inside of neck on about every 5th case, could this be part of the cause in regards to lube amount/resistance? will see how thin a coat I can get on. I also read something about the expander possibly being a culprit? I may just use the body die to eliminate any expander/neck sizing issues. will the RCBS precision mic measure my actual chamber headspace? or does it just measure the datum line like the redding or hornady comparator? I know you can take a cast of chamber but what other method/tool would you suggest. I've read many posts about this but can't seem to recall them all. my other thinking is that I can reload the brass and fire it another time or two. Keep the brass from both guns separate. Then take measurements with my comparator from both lots and get a better reading from there. like most of us, I am trying to improve my reloading skills and knowledge and hope I am not wasting your time. I'm transitioning from the old "set the shoulder back and check to see if it chambers" from my bolt guns to newer and better methods [/QUOTE]
