[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 618486, member: 10306"] All my brass is fired in cycles of 50, so all the cases right now are on there second fire. I havent been keeping track of how much Im bumping the shoulder back, simply because I dont have the tools to do it really accuately. Do you guys just eyeball up the shoulder line and thats what you go with? I think that the shoulder bumping could be the problem, I was always taught to run through a FL Die each time for reliable cycleing, but I think Im gonna start partial FL sizeing bumping back very little. What would you guys suggest for bumping back? Though its a good suggestion, I doubt that the rounds are being cooked. I developed the load in +35*C and was shooting the loads three weels ago at -20*C leaving the bolt open between shots, and never shoothing back to back more than two rounds (I leave it sit for about 5 min between when its cool out, if its warm 15 min). Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it. Im gonna get some better reloading gear in time. [/QUOTE]
