[QUOTE="Craig Dodd, post: 145044, member: 4127"] Goodgrouper, I too have had many instances where the RCBS die would not bump the shoulder. I simply started grinding off the top surface of the shell holder and kept checking with the Stoney Point tools until I was bumping the shoulder back. The modified shell holder worked with several dies but not all so I took a little more off. The downside is that you can't just crank the FL die down tight on the shell holder, but the Stoney Point tools allow you to get the correct setting. Someone mentioned the Redding Comp Shell Holders - I had the same thought too. However, after trying them what they allow you to do is to size the case less (in 0.002 incriments) not more (which is needed to bump the shoulder back). I used to retail the Redding dies and over about a two year period switched every die set on my bench for the Reddings. However, I have had some of these that I had to use my cut shell holder on. Dies are hardened and somewhat expensive at least when compared to a shell holder. Give it a try its a cheap fix. Craig in SE Idaho [/QUOTE]
