[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1509369, member: 30902"] You're on the right track, you're just not quite there yet. You may need to buy some shell holders that are a bit thinner than the one you are currently using in order to push the shoulder back enough to suit you. That it's taking more pressure to full length resize the case is to be expected because there's a lot more metal coming in contact with the die. Be sure you're working only properly lubed cases and that your die is clean internally. Brass, like water flows in the path of least resistance and right now that's lengthening your base to shoulder measurement rather than reducing it due to remaining space between the shell and the shoulder/case juction. If your die hasn't bottomed out completely then keep slowly screwing it down till you see your shoulder being bumped back but not so far as to cause a donut to form which you can easily feel. I'd also check your overall case length before proceding further as you may need to trim the necks a bit if it's grown on you which could also create issues when resizing. [/QUOTE]
