HeadspaceQuestion

Post by Varmintcaller »

I tried to post this earlier but it didnt take so Ill try again

When setting your Sizer die, how can you tell if you are headspacing off of the shoulder or the belt on a belted magnum case?

I am in the process of reforming 7mm mag cases to 270 wby mag, and I was told to be sure I was headspacing off the shoulder and not the belt.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Didn't you get instructions with your dies?
What brand, what type?
I'm a firm believer in the theory that if it bleeds, I can kill it.

Hey Varmintcaller,
What part of S.W. Idaho are you in? Maybe we could get together sometime. I do quite a bit of varmint calling.

I meant to say that I do quite a bit of reloading, I might be able to help you out there too.
