[QUOTE="19 Badger, post: 1550246, member: 107918"] Name of the game is to size it as close to your rifles chamber size as possible.... I have a set of RCBS dies for my .270 Weatherby and it will set the shoulder back almost .020" if I cam it over. Run your die down untill it touches the shell holder, back it off a 1/4 or little more. Size a case and measure to see if shoulder moved any. If not, screw in slightly and try again and repeat until shoulder moves back 2 or 3 thousandths. A brand new case is usually WAY under what your chamber actually measures. Base your measurements off of your fireformed cases and not new brass. Velocity shouldn't be affected enough to worry about... [/QUOTE]
