[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 519564, member: 2736"] I think you are on the right track. I don't recomend bumping the shoulder unless it is hard to close the bolt on it. Bumping is nessary sometimes but it is better not to as long as you can get by with it. When I do bump the shoulder I only size it enough to ease closing the bolt. (If it only takes .0005 to do it, that's all I size) It keeps from working the brass any more than necessary. Bumping more than that only increases head space. and the only time that I size smaller is on dangerous game rifles where you want them to chamber easy and under all conditions. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
