[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 1270640, member: 41122"] I think ts gonna be kinda chamber specific. Like Todd stated, the initial headspace plays a role here. My brass usually takes two firings before it gets tight, and i usually, initially, only have to set my die up to touch the shoulder after the first firing. Its also not unusual for me to keep adjusting my die to get the headspace right every couple of firings. Some of my loads have been very picky about headspace, others not so much. I cut a guage for my virgin brass before initial firing, and although my chambers are cut .001-.002 over the go gauge, it takes nearly .006 for the brass to become too tight to chamber. [/QUOTE]
