I bought a case shoulder comparator and it turns out the manufacturer reccomended 1/4 turn of the die pushed the shoulder back a LOT, way way more than you would ever need to. The 0.0015" bump back I was looking needed 1/32 of a turn to achieve.
I mentioned that because I was following a reloading guide from a reputable company but it was a terrible way to do things. When I would shoot with people we would talk about bullet BC, tripods, temperature, triggers, scopes, barrels, stocks, bags, range layout, rangefinders, powder types, powder charges, etc. and sizing never came up. It wasn't until I was at a match 600 miles from home and the problem came up and we started discussing it. And by discussing I mean me getting laughed at.
There are so many aspects of precision shooting and reloading that it's easy to overlook something. That's why I really like talking to other shooters and reloaders on forums like this.
And quick tip, if you get a case head separation with. 308/6.5ish sized case a copper or steel 5.56 chamber brush should have enough grab the pull out the case from the chamber. I always keep one in my pack now.
