Guffey, the scary part is you have accustomed yourself to adjusting your reloading to accommodate shoddy gun smithing. A FL die used with the proper shell holder returns brass to the upper end of Saami Spec at full cam over. Is that how I reload my Bench rest Ammo? No. It is how I re-load most of my hunting ammo? Yes. Years ago I got tired of having ammo that would only shoot in one rifle. I usually return hunting ammo to Saami specs. Do you have much experience with WBY radius shoulder ammo? Shoulders splitting are a common problem when the chamber is cut too deep. When you try to acommodate for the mis cut chamber by backing off on the die, you are for all practical purposes just neck sizing. Reload that brass a couple times at WBY pressure and the brass will be sticky. If the chamber is out of spec you are just exchanging one problem for another by trying to adjust it away with the dies. If you do much wildcatting with WBY as the parent case, you will quickly discover that you want to replace the radius shoulder with a 45-48 degree shoulder.
Maybe its just me, but If I have a chamber out of spec to the point we are discussing here, I fix it.
If the way I describe loading hunting ammo is so wrong, why does every die manufacturer I can think of instruct the die to be set up that way?
