[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 992191, member: 12"] Keeping the brass separate for two guns does not solve the problem of die adjustment each time or buying another sizing die. However, it helps ID which brass goes in which gun. You can use one die for both guns if you do not want to buy a separate sizing die. However, you must measure the shoulder on brass coming out of both guns. Take the shortest brass and set your die up to just bump the shoulder on that brass then buy a set of Skip Otto die shims from Sinclair international. Normally $12.49 [URL]http://www.sinclairintl.com/reloading-equipment/reloading-dies/replacement-parts-amp-upgrades/skip-s-die-shim-kit-7-8-14--prod33197.aspx[/URL] Take what size shim you need to just bump the shoulder on the longer brass. So if the shoulder on the longer brass is .005 longer just put the .005 shim under your die and you should be good. You might have to play with .001 shim up or down to get it correct. You can find dimension variance in shellholder heights too, that is why I put a separate shellholder in each die box and only use that shellholder with that set of dies. [/QUOTE]
