Did you Reload anything today?

Here’s a Co-ax shellholder plate with .010 taken off:

This is correct ...The competition shellholders will make the brass "Longer" by what the"Y" is plus the .002, .004, .006, .008, & .010 .... making the "deck" farther away from the die....

The +.002 would make the Y figure .127" instead of the normal .125"..
The +.004 would make the Y figure .129"
+.006 would be .131"
+.008 would be .133"
+.010 would be .135"

Thus keeping the brass from entering the die as deep as the normal .125" shellholder deck height ...

Neva mind Santa...I don't need those. They work dead backwards to what I thought. Maybe that is why I never got any.

Thanks @BriarPatch99

Well I got the Seirra 169's loaded and shot today. I loaded 5 with IMR 4895 and 5 with IMR 4064. We set the target at 100 yds. The 4895 was O K. but the 4064 had the better grouping. I was surprised how much longer the 169 bullets are compared with the 168's. I guess I'll need to order me a big box, 500, to really find the best load.

So those shell holders are so u can full length size(die touching shell plate) without pushing your fire formed shoulder back. Good info.

Yes that is what they are for ....You can pick the amount in .002" steps up to .010" ...

A person could use a machined washer to set up their dies with ... to square up the die ....and if the correct thickness work like the Redding shell holders ...just lot more trouble...

 

[BriarPatch99]

If a fellow needs to size a brass slightly more than a normal shell holder will allow ....you can place a feeler gauge under the brass head between the "deck" ... unless you remove the decapping stem/pin ...your feeler will have a nice hole in it ...but it is a good way to measure how much needs come off the top of a shell holder or the bottom of a die ....before doing the machine work...

You should be able to hit 3675/3700 fps with it ....PBR +/- 3" of 351 yards .... 2000+ ft lbs energy @ PBR ...... IMR 4350/IMR 4831

It will be deadly !!
