Still waiting on new Lapua 6br brass to show up but I did find a piece of BR brass to mess with. I false shouldered it and have fired it 5 times resizing it with my new Harrels die without much issue. After I get the new stuff I'm going to get it going and see what it'll do. I'll definitely follow up here.
On a side note I'm a little confused about measuring the shoulder. Using the bump gauge that was included with my Whidden dies I can measure and bump the shoulder from 1.244 to 1.242. If i take the included Harrels measuring bushing it goes from 1.666 to 1.653. This is me measuring a single piece of brass with both gauges using the same calipers, sizing it and measuring again. If I set the die to only bump .002 using only the Harrels gauge the brass has a little resistance when closing the bolt. Is there a different measurement i should be looking for when using the Harrels?
Sorry for the long post! And thanks in advance!
