[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3390334, member: 3099"] You really need a set of comparator gages to set the shoulder setback. You can get several thousandths variation depending on how hard you set the camover on your press. Most FL dies set it back plenty far enough to work in any chamber that’s in spec and there’s a range for that too. I bump mine back about .005” from my shortest chamber so my ammo will work in all my guns. If you are just loading for one gun you can go lower than that but I don’t sort brass and spring back can be different between head stamps. This is for general purpose ammo, precision stuff requires more attention and you can be fine at .002 setback for a specific chamber or even .000” in a bolt gun. But yea, if your shoulders are all over the place, your OALs will be too if your trimmer located on the shoulder. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
