Take a piece of your new brass and see if it will chamber in your rifle. If it does (and it should), measure it and record the length with your comparator. Load it and fire it, remeasure with your comparator. The difference between the two will be how much your brass is stretching to fill your chamber. The fired brass gives you the headspace on your chamber. Now when you set up your die only bump the headspace back on the fired brass by .002So if I take these numbers, is it possible that is why that I cannot see a mesurement difference when I try to FL size my new Lapua brass?
I have the Hornady comparator (.420) and the Whidden (.450). Mesure at 2.067. Set-up the fl die, run the brass and still get the same mesure, even if I screw the die until I cannot cam-over.., Btw I use Forster did
You will likely find that the headspace on your new brass is going to grow enough that you will be able to set up your die.
It isn't a bad idea to check again after your second firing and tweak your die set up if needed. Sometimes your headspace might be just a little longer than your first firing and to keep your die bumping your headspace by only .002 you might just have to raise it another thou or two.
