    GPC, the 900m width is just (soft) ground ricochet. If you include hard ricochet surfaces, that increases to over 1600m wide.

    The blocks on the T6 template are 400x400m squares.

    TeRei, it depends on what brand of dies you are using. Some FL dies without an expander would squeeze the neck down so much that the case becomes useless.

    True shoulder bump sizing as it is used in benchrest and target reloading does not use a FL die (unless the neck portion has been reamed out, making it a body die).

    Hi Ernie,

    Not a bench, two individual seats, but basic form, not bucket seats. That's a lot more palatable than the price of the Rugge Valley ones ($ 450)
