[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1493732, member: 28965"] [COLOR=#000000][SIZE=4]Schnyd112[/SIZE][/COLOR] You are bumping the shoulder back as much as someone with a M14/M1A semi-auto rifle. With a bolt action normally .001 to .002 shoulder bump is all that is needed. Below FYI The .308 Winchester cases below were fired in a brand new Savage rifle. The dies were adjusted per the instructions with the die making hard contact with the shell holder. No information was given about the amount of shoulder bump. Meaning this is "ball park" information and not written in stone.
