[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 383214, member: 9215"] "Do you find bumping .003" sufficient for hunting rounds and bench rounds alike? " For hunting 3 thou would be okay. But it also leads to a bit more case stretch than I prefer. For my bolt rifle varmint/target loads I prefer to neck size OR FL size to restore the location of the fired shoulders. The shoulders of fired cases are already 1-2 thou off the chamber shoulder. You will find it's virtually impossible to consistently put shoulders at any specific point due to normal variations in case spring-back. I try to keep my MAX case (shoulder) lengths at whatever I want and simply accept those which are a couple-three thou shorter. [/QUOTE]
