One last question. When I first ran my brass through the FL die the shoulder came out to about 2.12 +. I then was trying to copy what my loaded Nosler ammo shoulder measured at 2.104 so I kept turning the die down till I got to about 2.105. Did I ruin those cases? Is it dangerous to reload...
I’m sorry but it’s not simple for a guy new to reloading and being my first time reloading a rifle much less belted magnum. I appreciate all the help from you all.
I’ve seen some videos where guys take their firing pin and ejector out to see how easy the bolt falls closed. I’m not doing that but I did put my resized brass in my chamber to see if it closed okay and ejected then dropped them in a Lyman ammo checker. Is that a good way to check that the...

Thank you. So if my Nosler case is 2.05 and my shoulder is at 2.07 or 2.08 am I good as long as it falls into the Lyman headspace gauge? I’ll be shooting all these and will use your process next time.
Thank you. I ordered another die because I had a stuck case today. I think I boogered up my die. Can’t screw in the top screw that holds the decapper very much. What’s a safe lube? I didn’t lube the inside of the neck?
I’m too late for that right know but I can do that next time. I FL sized all my brass but can’t get the shoulder back to what the Nosler factory loads are. I didn’t measure the shoulders of the fires brass first. Will do that next time.
