It happens, trust meI'm curious, how can a FL die be set up to push the neck very far into the shoulder?

Go get it's cousin. This one is named after and the new one can be called before.
I was just learning at the time and it was no big loss $20 bucks or something, but it still kinda got me to to just chunk the cases..but better safe than sorry.. When I called rcbs they told me to set the die up per instructions and that was the proper headspace for the cartridge.. I know they have to make the die for all chambers and I have seen a new colt thats .004 longer than mine but dang....009..

Been there done that
When I return a 30/06 case to minimum length/full length size the case is .005" shorter from the shoulder to the case head than a go-gage length chamber from the shoulder of the chamber to the bolt face.

As I have always said; "I find it most difficult to move the shoulder of a case (back) with a die that has case body support", and that just seems to make everyone angry.
When I want to move the shoulder back on a case I invert (screw the die in upside down from the bottom) a case forming/trim die. When using a forming die upside down it loosed its ability to support the case body, and that is the reason the case body takes on the appearance of an accordion/bellows. And then when a reloader wonders if it is time to anneal the case, that will never happen.

I also noticed most of us on here have given up on arguing semantics and nomenclature with the world's "foremost authority"........which is a good thing.Hey, did anyone notice "Professor Irwin Corey" died recently? Don't know what made me think of that. ...
