[QUOTE="19 Badger, post: 1550225, member: 107918"] Only size the brass enough to bump the shoulder .002"-.003". Brass will be more accurate, last much longer and trimmed less often. Setting it back .020" you will eventually end up with case head separation and having to replace VERY expensive brass. The Hornady E420 should work, I would try to find something closer to 460 size to measure on the shoulder(perhaps a .45 cal bullet comparator?) You need to measure a couple fireformed cases from your rifle (with no primer, spent primers tend to protudes slightly and will give you an incorrect reading on caliper) to find your chamber size(write it down) then size the brass untill it measures .002"-003" smaller than fireformed measurement. Weatherby brass is too expensive to ruin, get it correct from the start and it will last many firings. Keep good notes on your measurements [/QUOTE]
