    The .280 and AI cases have longer headspace than the .270 so the correct way is to neck the cases up to .30-06 and then set the shoulder back to a hard close in the .280 AI die. You have missed that...

    Greetings All, Hold over or dial? You can actually have both as some above have suggested. Hold over scopes can be dialled as long as the adjustments are not capped. Fixed power (thanks Micky Duck)...

    Barnes130 liked post by grandpamac On thread : Case head separation
    Greetings, It is a headspace issue created by setting the shoulder back too far when full length resizing by having the die down hard on the shell holder. Will post further on this tomorrow. GPM.
