Message: <blockquote data-quote="PrairieGhost" data-source="post: 69865" data-attributes="member: 704"><p>I use a bullet comparator.  Before I had that I would use the sizing die to size the neck just enough to hold a bullet, but let it slide with slight pressure.  When you chamber a round that has a bullet held firmly it will force the bullet into the lands.  A bullet that can slide will touch the lands then push back into the case giving you an acceptable measurement.  Start off with bullets seated back .010 less than your measurement.  </p><p>Also if you don't have a headspace gauge smoke the shoulder of your case to indicate when your sizing die contacts the shoulder.  By setting back .001 instead of .005 you can double your case life.</p><p></p><p>Forgot this trick:  In the past I would full length size my brass then split the neck with a hacksaw.  It creates perfect tension for your bullet to check seating depth.</p></blockquote><p></p>
