resizing question

[crashnrondo]

I finally got thru all of my out of the box 6mm BR brass and was working on setting up the resizing die,Forster). Using a newer model Rock Chucker and a Stoney Point head space gauge I was able to get a .001 bump on the shoulder but I really had to cam over the press. When the shell holder hits the die the arms of the press have to travel about another inch and a half or so. I have had to cam over the press for other calibers but never this much. I'm using a RCBS shell holder, should I try another brand shell holder or buy another RCBS and knock it down on a sander? Maybe take the dies to a machine shop and have some of them removed? Other ideas or options?
Thanks-Ron

If you have it set, run with it! Gotta do what you gotta do to get the 1 thou bump...

On my Rock-Chucker I have to have a LOT of cam-over to bump the shoulder. On an RCBS Turret press, less cam-over is needed, but I'd still say a good quarter turn of the die moving it down from "just touching".

Thanks for the replies, that is an even easier solution
