[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1510746, member: 101859"] Dont over think the die. If you are getting .0015-.003" of diameter reduction at the shoulder and .0005-.001" just above the extractor groove, then your FL sizing die is a very good match for your chamber and you will not wear out cases or have extraction problems. My 28 nosler, 30 nosler, 300 wsm, 7 saum, 338 edge, 280ai, reamers just to name a few will meet those sizing requirements with off the shelf redding or whidden dies. I have re-size reamers for wildcats that I have to make dies for but see no need with standard cartridges [U]IF[/U] the smith is doing a good job and chambers are coming out to spec. Usually if I have a problem its not enough squeeze at the base of the case. I may only see .0003" and after a while that will cause a sticky extraction. The 28 and 30 nosler are like that, the redding dies need to be a little tighter at the base, so I just tweaked my reamer specs to work with the dies. The other option is to polish the back of the chamber on those a bit. But for the guys running them hot they will wear out primer pockets before that sizing issue shows up. [/QUOTE]
