    I think I see what you mean... if it was positive area x would be reducing. I sent them an email so hopefully they don't cancel the order and tell me not to worry.

    When I was having my issues I was told to put feeler gauges under the base of the case in the shellholder until it sized the case the desired amount and that's how I got to the figure of 20 thou that needed to be shaved off the shellholder.

    Shout out to @MSL for sorting out threading my 260AI case for OAL gauge. Touching is 2.880 so trying 2.875...

    Being the mong I am, I would have completely sussed it by looking at it and then proceeded to destroy 30 cases before I bothered reading the instructions. 😆

    Using Rem brass to save the Lapua... what do you think? Haven't made any adjustments other the seating the die properly. Also a bit ginger with the hammer. Definitely making more of an AI case and cycle sweet through the rifle...

    Looks bloody good. Rem brass is probably a good start as it is softer. Also looks to have a sharper shoulder than any of my first time, formed brass.

    I might have to get one😆
