    This can cause tight chambering on the shoulder...the solution is obviously to lower the die or change shell holder untill the shoulder is bumped back a couple of thou.

    Anytime you squeeze a brass cylinder down in diameter without holding the top from growing it will grow lengthwise.

    Totally agree on how as the body is sized the case lengthens .��

    I'm trying to get a few of the doubters to watch the YouTube video I've listed in #26 .

    @Micky Duck , has the video convinced you ? ��
