[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 837572, member: 1940"] Except for rounds I load on the progressive, I don't bump shoulders until the bolt gets stiff upon closing. I can tell you bumping the shoulder one or two thou. does not adversely affect accuracy. Case in point; I bump the shoulders on a custom 7 mag varmint rifle .002 when necessary, and those rounds were used last weekend to take a marmot at 1332 yards. The have been used to take over a dozen more at ranges between 900 and 1200 yards. Another thing I do when I neck size is only size about 80% of the neck. I leave the remaining bit above the shoulder untouched and it will fit the chamber perfectly. You can accurately measure base to shoulder length by using tools from Stoney Point or Sinclair made to measure from the datum line... but you probably already know this. [/QUOTE]
