fire forming brass

[Bodei]

Like Rick, I have only the body die, neck bushing die and seater for my 20VT. Just was never sure exactly what the body die did as opposed to FL. I run 221 brass through the body die, then the neck die and it seems to work out good. I do have to "over cam" the body die stage or my brass wont chamber sometimes. On rounds that dont chamber, I have run the loaded round through the body die and it worked fine.

Bodei: Sounds like you need to invest in the Redding Competition Shellholder Set. It cures all the shoulder bump issues, allows you to set your die square with the shellholder every time, and allows graduations in height in .002" increments to find that perfect slight resistence upon bolt closing we're all after.

Check it out, it sure saves alot of needless dinking about spinning dies up and down trying to find the perfect setting, and worth the price of admission (cheap).

Thanks Rick, I knew I could count on you to find a way for me to spend more money!
