How to setup a Full Length Sizing Die
Skip to 9:43 for the actual die setup
First it's recommended that you clean your die before using it, be sure to check the manual to see if your die manufacturer has certain recommendations. For example: Hornady recommends that their seating stem protrudes 3/16" below the base of the die.
After that we'll spray some case lube in the die and set it up in the press, as well as cover Imperial sizing wax and spray case lube.
After that I'll demonstrate how to read a case gauge as well as use the Hornady Headspace Comparator. For an AR the goal it to bump your shoulder -0.002" to -0.004" for proper function and reliability. If you're reloading for a bolt action try to set for -0.002" shoulder bump.
