Question:
For all of the cases I reload standard RCBS full-length dies do not bump the shoulder when I screw in the die to touch the shell holder at the top of the presses stroke. I have and use Hornady's gauges to measure, along with sooting the shoulder so I can see when it is touched. I then slowly (think 1/32 turn at a time) turn the die in until the shoulder is barely bumped. I usually achieve an aparant 2-3 thou bump.
What am I missing here? Why the need for the taller shell holders?
