+1 for "Skips" die shims

[Dusty Stevens]

If you are a seating depth fanatic, my process works great. Just load long and adjust the SD after 40-50 rounds.

You can adjust a wilson stem real easy- measure it with calipers. Write it on the die on masking tape or on that particular box of bullets

A fella can also index the Wilson to zero at CBTO .

Good suggestion, know just the bullets to use

I like the Redding competition shell holders because you never have to touch the die to adjust the amount of shoulder bump.

With Skips shims you have to remove the die and add or remove shims every time you adjust the amount of bump.

Same. This is such an easier method.

How bad is the wind in your reloading room?

How bad is the wind in your reloading room?

East to west at 5 mph

That’s wind flag is showing a solid left to right in your room, I’ve never thought about reading wind while reloading but maybe you’re on to something there...

That wind condition makes sense considering where the wind source would be seated when reloading.

I shouldn't talk, my basement reloading room is next to the utility room. I have all the vents blocked off and a blanket hanging in the open doorway. Never did install a door because of the lost space; maybe I should install a pocket door.

If I'm eating anything cabbage based, the wind gets pretty stifff in my loading room.

I have done this too in a fashion; I use automotive valve shims. I do not recall the price, but I think the $ was reasonable. I bought them ~ 20 years ago. I have 4 8MM rifles and use the shims then. I set the die for the rifle with the tightest chamber then when loading the next, slightly larger chambered rifle I place shim which backs off the die some. Then when I want to run a batch of whatever 8 MM I don't need to fiddle around with the die lock ring each time. I made a list of the shims needed for each rifle.
