[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1154634, member: 39764"] I have to ask, what brand of die and your resize procedure..... Not all dies are capable of 'bumping back' a shoulder, though you assume they are.... Brand and type of die will be important as well as body length but I'll get into that later on.... Are you measuring shoulder datum before and after resizing? Can you 'feel' the shoulder being retarded? 338 Lapua chambering is especially sensitive to bumping, I know, like I said earlier on, I have the exact same stick you have. Though I don't load with your powder, you should see pressure signs before anything else. I have to lean toward not enough setback but I need to know more about your equipment and method first.. You can PM if you want to. Don't mind. I may be FOS but I don't think I am...:D Your comment 'as far as the die will allow' speaks volumes but I need to know what die. My dies would allow me to bump the shoulder to the point where the case body would be 1/4" shorter and all the brass wadded up in the neck bushing.............. [/QUOTE]
