[QUOTE="19 Badger, post: 1786677, member: 107918"] When it comes down to getting it to .002"-.003" shoulder bump, it will be very, very small adjustments to your sizing die when you get close. One way I was able to get a hang of it was by using shims that go under your locknut instead of making micro adjustments (Brownell's sells them). Keep lube off of the shoulder and when you pull your lever down to size your case, hold it at the bottom of the stroke for a second to get a good consistant sizing application. Always check your measurement without a primer. As you are sizing and checking your shoulder measurement, dont be surprised if it gets longer before it gets shorter. That will mean you're getting close, keep screwing it in slightly until it starts bumping the shoulder back a few thousandths. [/QUOTE]
