    die depth for full length resizing.

    I'll shoot some factory ammo this weekend and take some measurements. I've got a 38 case that looks like it'll work. And, got some additional tools on order at Midway to get the job done correctly. I guess just in time to prep 500 pieces of Lake City brass as well. Guess I know what i'm...

    die depth for full length resizing.

    If I put the sizing die all the way down to the shell holder, it creases the casing up by the shoulder. I have to have some space.

    die depth for full length resizing.

    Thanks all for the help, I'm really understanding the process a lot more now. 6 or 7 years of reloading for the .308 it was never an issue but this new 6.5 Lothar Barrel is more sensitive. I always thought the full size die automatically set the shoulder at a specific length from the base...

    die depth for full length resizing.

    918, I am setting the brass size to the to the full length sizing die as this ammunition is for an AR10/Semi on a 6.5CM, not a bolt action rifle. If I am understanding you correctly.

    die depth for full length resizing.

    factory winchester that I bought today for a shoot test is .465. Redding dies and using Sig Brass that I have only shot out of this rifle.

    die depth for full length resizing.

    question, when setting the die height, I put my ram all the way up, then screw down the full length resizing die until it touch's the ram and back off 1/2 turn? Is this the correct setting? My reloads are sticking into the chamber where factory ammo is not. The base of my re-sized case...

    20” Aero M5 build, have some questions

    I'm using a using a blemished Rubber City BCG with 21" Lothar barrel w/rifle length gas tube and adjustable gas block. Larue trigger. Everything worked with no fussing, just set the gas block. I was actually surprised as I was expecting the worst.

    Diamondback/Ruger SR762 upper swap

    At the start there were out of spec uppers. The bolt catch I believe it was. It would fail to hold the bolt back on last round. I could be wrong though. When I got my Ruger they immediately performed a warranty switch and I have never had problems with it. I have also put an Larue 2 stage...

    Need Current Armalite AR-10 Guidance

    The only differences between an armalite and dpms is upper receiver rail height, take down pin length, barrel nut threading and gas tube length. I am pretty sure that's it but I could be in error.

    Diamondback/Ruger SR762 upper swap

    Be interested to hear how this all works out for you. I have the same rifle and I bought an extra upper and handguard from Matrix Aero several years ago. Haven't built it yet but will someday.

    Lefty prone shooters - RH/LH bolt?

    Right hand/left eye dom. I bought the stealth BA in 6.5 and it's not a bad rifle. Didn't really want a savage, but after 850 for the rifle and 1000 for the scope, that's a chunk of change. I don't compete, just shoot for fun so really no reason to spend more. PVA is offering the Hancock rifle...
