I am setting up to reload for .308 F TR. I have the Redding competition die set with the neck bushing die the bullet seating die and the full length die. I understand the seating die and the neck bushing die operation. I am at a loss to understand how the full length resizer sets the shoulder back. Acording to the instructions ( and the Tubb reloading video) the die is screwed into the press with the ram in uppermost position until the bottom of the die just touches the ram...no problem there! Then the shoulder is measured and it is determined that it needs to be set back some amount. Run the case through the full length resizer and the shoulder still needs to be set back say 0.005". Screw the die down some more into the press, here is where I am having a problem understanding, if the die bottom is already touching the ram in the up position how can screwing the die down further in the press make the case go up further in the die? Isn't this limited by the top of the shell holder touching the bottom of the die??
