you didnt make it sound confusing at all, i appreciate that. I do think that i will buy a "Head space" gauge to check my rife also but from everything ive been reading i do believe that my dies are improperly set-up. I will double, and triple check everything and get back to everyone tonight or...

i have measured everything, and it all matches my book. I will defiantly double check this when i get home tho. Thank you!

no sir/maam i have not loading with this die set before, this is the first round. there Brand new Carbide Dillion Dies so im assuming there good, i do believe after reading everything that i have set them up poorly. and i need to redo the setup. the OAL matches my Lyman reloading manual, along...
