after removing the scratches from my 308 die at least the rcbs sb die. i had sized a few cases and measured them with a hornady comparator which should measure from the base to the midpoint of the shoulder. i am using the anvil base that comes with it so i have a flat base. i previously only used a rifle case gage and after sizing, the base is within the gage specs. the measurements after sizing vary from 1.632 to 1.637 [saami says 1,
634- 1.637]of course there is user variatiom but within the same case after measuring it several times i go for the smallest length.
if the die sizes them shouldnt they all be the same size? from the mid shoulder to the base?
i go for the whole range. of the lever pull. making sure it bottoms out and the cases are well lubed.
this is not the whole length and before trimming.
btw they have different headstamps
