[QUOTE="Roll-Yur-Own, post: 171454, member: 6140"] When you full length resize you set (bump) the shoulder back. However, it is usually too much. When guys are talking about "bumping he shoulder back 2 thousands", for example, they are using the FL die but not completely resizing the brass. What a lot of guys do is rezise a minimal amount and chamber the case, resize a little more, chamber, etc until the case just chambers. That is also known as partial FL resizing. The best way to do it is to buy a set of redding competition shellholders which are a 5 shellholder set with each holder being .002 bigger. What you would do is start with the biggest and work your way down until your brass just chambers. Now you know exactly how much shoulder bump you did. I mentioned that the are using a fl die, however they could be using a body die and neck sizing also. Also, if you are shooting deer & elk at closer ranges this may not be needed. YMMV [/QUOTE]
