[QUOTE="Shootin4fun, post: 688513, member: 28741"] I am about to start reloading 7mm RM for the first time. I have reloaded several lesser calibers up to a 270 Win, but have never worried about head spacing or "bumping shoulders". Now I need some experienced advice on this stuff as I move into the belted magnum realm, and maybe it will even change my methodology on lower powered cartridges. I reload for all the usual reasons...accuracy, cost of shooting, and projectile selection. I've always full case resized. I always just set the sizing die the way the RCBS manual says to do; something like adjust it down to touch the shell holder when in the fully extended position, and then back off 1/8 turn from there, if I remember correctly. (Don't have access to my reloading stuff right now.) Now with the Mag, I'm sure things will be more critical. Is this method of adjusting the sizing die adequate? Should I start out by just neck resizing or continue full case resizing? Bullet seating dies with the micrometer built in seem like a good investment - less trial and error, especially if you are going to use several different bullets. Resizing dies with the micrometer built in seem like a way to insure consistency if you are concerned about bumping the shoulder. Is this something we need to worry a lot about? Planning minds want to know! [/QUOTE]
