[QUOTE="okietom, post: 2113117, member: 18710"] It does look like you aren't getting a full length size. My Dillon press doesn't have a shell holder that you can cam over with to set the die. The safest way to adjust your die and get the right trim is to get a case length gauge. If the loaded ammo will feed in your gun you don't have a real problem even with the ridge. Your chamber can function as as go no go case measure. I didn't get a case length gauge until I bought a Dillon Rapid Trim. That little gauge made it easy to set the trimmer and I used it to reset my sizing die on my tool head also. I am wanting to get a few more of them for other case besides the .223 gauge I have. You can also put a loaded round in it to se if it will fit in a chamber. If you have a bulge on pistol cases after loading them a case gauge would let you know if they would chamber ok. [/QUOTE]
