[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2676592, member: 1951"] I have a couple new to me Contender barrels I’d like to do some reloading for…. The first step in my process (after brass forming) is to pressure test to determine a max load. So 2 questions….. When I FL size, how much should I bump the shoulder? Fired cases measure +0.012” plus to the barrel face, but the barrel closes on a 0.003” feeler gage max. I’ll recheck and post again later. What are the pressure signs before frame stretching? This is a Contender not G2. Hard to open? Primers? Other? [/QUOTE]
