[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 372823, member: 2736"] Maybe this will clear it up a little better. There are many different types of dies and some are designed to size to SAAMI specs ONLY . The way you have to use them for bumping the shoulder is to grind or swap the shell holder until you can move the shoulder. Another type of die is the small base die. They are made for sizing smaller than SAMMI specs. They are used primarily for full autos and dangerous game so they will chamber under all conditions without fail. There are also dies that can be set at any length to help fit your chamber as best you can,And one brand that I know of that is this type is the Hornady New Dimension dies and these have to be set without seating against the shell holder. And the other type of dies are the custom dies made from your reamer specs or a loaded round for custom throats and shoulders. You can sometimes make small adjustments beyond the dies intended use but it is best to buy the right dies for the job intended. I hope this answered your questions J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
