6.5x284 Shehane case question

I've been shooting a new Borden rifle and everything has been going smooth. The first batch of brass I developed was good but with an upcoming match I want to make it perfect.

I have some instructions from Jim: Making from 284 Win brass, run the brass through a 6.5x284 form die and be careful about setting the shoulder back. Prior to trimming and neck turning the brass-run through a 6.5x284 die with expander ball in and a 285 or so bushing. Set the shoulders back so that when used in the gauge, I was provided a piece of rifle barrel as a gauge) they are 3.400 to 3.401

The gauge measures 1.88, the problem I'm having is understanding what the 3.400 - 3.401 measurement is?

I would call Borden but he's gone for the weekend and I'm loading ammo.

I never ran the first Laupa brass through a die prior to using, it worked great. I want to make sure I'm loading this correctly for the Shehane cartridge. I'm using custom dies from redding for the Shehane neck.
 
Just guessin...but some times the case is inserted in the "gizzy" and it is measured rite along with the case...from case head to other end of gizzy...!!!That dim. that has been give is sorta "over all",,,, hope this make sense...Roger
