[QUOTE="jes10x1, post: 171452, member: 8715"] [b]Shoulder bumping[/b] If I full length resize, I try to be very careful to bump the shoulder back only a .001 or 2. A friend of mine didn't check & wound up with several separated 223 cases. The problem stopped when he reduced the amount of headspace for the rounds. The old Stoney Point (now Hornady?) or Sinclair int'l tools are great for this job: to custom fit both headspace and bullet depth to a particular rifle. Forster Products now makes a bushing die to size necks AND bump the shoulder at the same time without touching the case body walls. You might want to look into that. Drop a note or send a ph # if you'd like to discuss more. J [/QUOTE]
