[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 116460, member: 1290"] If I were to bump I would use my full length die by starting out one full turn up off of the shell holder. I would blacken the neck and shoulder with soot from a match. Then adjust the die down until it was getting the whole neck and just started to touch the shoulder. Now I would be ready to bump. Take a brass that closes hard in my gun and run it through the die and then try it again in the rifle. I would take the die down just a smidge at a time until the shell would chamber easy. No more than that. Now the die is set to bump the shoulders on the batch of sticky brass. I still haven't had to do even this in near 20 years. [/QUOTE]
