[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2349831, member: 15054"] I found that setting my die the way Lee suggested to set it would set the shoulder back .008" from the fired position. I have a neck sizer die and my groups were much tighter when i set the die like Lee stated. Neck sized around 1" groups. FLS with shoulder set back .008" i would get groups under 1/2" and shot at 200+ yards they would stay between around .8" Now that i can actually measured how much i am setting the shoulder back. I hope setting it back .001 or .0000 the accuracy does not go away.. Only way to find out is to shoot more ammo :) I have never seen a gun that after Full Length Sizing the brass that the brass will not grow. All my brass grows like that in my bottle neck rifle stuff. I see this stated a lot. "Also get the guns head space check by a good gun smith you should not be getting case stretching in a properly set up gun." So are you saying cases will never stretch in a properly set up gun..? If so what is a set up gun? If cases never stretched or grew then the cases would last forever if you annealed to keep hardness in check. I think my issue came down to how Lee stated to set the die up. Either way ,,it shoots awesome ..and i hope it still will once i load some with this new shoulder length. [/QUOTE]
