[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 1706746, member: 807"] Be careful to check your brass after sizing, on presses like the Dillon the shell plate can allow the shoulder to be pushed too far back if adjusted too tightly against the shellplate. I use a Case Gauge to check my setup after adjusting it. I also run brass through it the first time I get it to make sure it hasn't had the shoulder pushed back too far. Brass with the shoulder pushed back too far will cause case separations just ahead of the web area, resulting in the front part of the case remaining in the chamber. A friend picked up a bag of 243 brass at the last gunshow for me and several of them were un usable due to shoulder being pushed back too far. My case gauges are a mix from Dillon and L.E. Wilson. Here are a couple of links to what I'm using.
