Reloading dies are 7/8"x14 tpi NF. The die will move .07143" per turn, so 1/8 turn is .00893". If you are adjusting the die down to do a shoulder bump, this is too large an increment and yes you do need to use measuring tools as well. However, like I said many times on this thread, the OP does not need to bump his shoulder or reduce the diameter of his once fired brass, it feeds and fits the chamber just fine BEFORE he ever runs it through a die. All he needs to do is get the neck to hold the bullet tight again. The whole point of reloading is to have brass that is custom fit to your chamber, if you are just going to squeeze it back to factory you might as well shoot factory ammo.
OP. please at least try minimal FL sizing before deciding. I will bet dollars to donuts it solves your feeding and head separation problems.
