Just getting into it and have watched many videos. Most were only surface level and didn't really give me a warm feeling that I understood what I was watching. This video is the clear exception. Terms were carefully explained and illustrated. Now I feel I know how to set up a die and why all the little details are important as well as how they integrate to ensure I set up a good process set up for resizing. Thanks for the detail.

The press does not cater for cam over. This way is the very hardest way to get a 2 thou bump. The varying size shell holders from Redding are accurate, accurate and cheap.

I started reloading back in 1980 using a $13 Lee Loader kit. As time progressed and exposure to hand loading techniques, I thought I had acquired a high level of knowledge. Constantly watching your videos repeatedly for the last 3 years, I continue to learn things I had missed! Greg, you have enlightened me to so many things that had me frustrated by being stuck at .5-.6 moa (back before the internet) with rare .3-.4 moa @ 100 yds. Thank you so much ❤

This happened regularly to me when I first got in. No matter how deep or shallow I ran the die, nothing would change enough to get close to sufficient. After some suggestions (BTW I was using a standard singlestage) I tried swimming a case in shell holder with cigarette paper. Sure nuff the shell holder was contacting to early (as such no matter where the die was screwed in it achieved the same results. I had to measure the amount I still needed to setback, measure shellholder and veeeeeery slowly/carefully remove material via polishing/sanding and relegate that holder to a that specific rifle chamber.

I have been reloading for about a year now, slowly moving in the direction of accuracy with knowledge gained. Since dies are made to do specific things, my question would be: Can you use a combination of dies to maximize performance of the brass? Meaning, using a universal decapper, followed by a body die, followed by a neck die. I know there are multifunction dies that can do all or some of these functions. I'm a tinkerer and it wouldn't bother me to do one or two extra cranks for the sake of accuracy. What's you take? Thank you.

Hi Greg, great video and awesome Channel! I was noticing you use a whitten Die, of which I just bought. I was just trying the die out in my Foster Coax like the one you use and I have found that the lock ring doesn’t allow the die to slide back quite far enough into the recess of the press where the die is made to slide into. When I say “far enough” I mean that it doesn’t slide in far enough to allow the die to be centered over the shell holder thereby misaligning the shell when it slides into the Whitten die. How have you gotten around this problem, using the Whitten die lock ring ? Thanks so much

Have you ever used the SAC HEADSPACE COMPARATOR kit they sell? I had some gift money and purchase 308 and 223 one. I had brass that the headspace was push back using the Hornady headspace kit. I measured that brass and it was way off. I'm a little confuse on why.. Hopefully I will read more and see if I could figure it out.

Thanks for responding. I’ve only been reloading for a few months. But I thought one of the goals when precision reloading was to size the case so that it just barely fits in the chamber and the bolt snugs up just a tad bit as it closes. If my fired cases already fit in the chamber quite easily, wouldn’t bumping the shoulders back make the brass even shorter, leaving more “slop” in the chamber?

Wonderful information...I have reloaded for my hunting needs since 1995, and for the first time I had case head separation occur. I have had some difficulty with a newer savage 7mm-08 as the bolt got stuck, and in researching why, the neck sizing seemed to be the culprit in that I was not taking the shoulder back. I followed the rules of setting up the full length die, and lo and behold, the brass was apparently overworked and twice fired brass began to separate. I am going to get rid of the brass I just sized full length and start over....a hard lesson for this long time reloader who learned they still have a lot to learn.

Thank you Greg, as a newcomer to reloading this is the most comprehensive guide to setting up a sizing die I have found. One thought has occurred though, if you set up the die after your first firing has the case fully fire formed at this point, or do you have to repeat this process until the case stabilises in length? (I use Lapua brass)
