[QUOTE="jstanton, post: 2529575, member: 102980"] [USER=116181]@QuietTexan[/USER] you are correct, by "normal FL size" I was referring to following the normal setup procedure the die manufacturer recommends. This method I know gives me a .007" shoulder bump. For getting a specific shoulder bump, I have used Eric Cortina's method for setting a standard FL die to get your desired shoulder bump. Basically I set the die up as per the instructions, sized one piece of fired brass, measured with headspace gauge, compared to measurement from a fired piece of brass, and take the difference between the two. Next measure the bottom of the die to the bottom of the lock ring and then adjust for the difference to achieve desired shoulder bump. This method worked pretty well for my 7mm Rem Mag. I am using a standard set of Hornady Custom Grade dies by the way. I was really just curious what other people are doing with their brass if they find a successful load with virgin brass. [/QUOTE]
