Small base might be a good idea in the Handis. Might help with the sticking cases. You would only need that set. They full length size but are tighter in the base. I've used them for lever rifles to reduce sticking, but not in a Handi.

Small base dies are designed to take the base back to factory dimentions, for use in semi-autos, and pumps, which has weak extractors.  The major problem is short case life.

A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.
