[QUOTE="rcoody, post: 1173293, member: 91090"] What I do. I load for AR's and bolt guns. my ar's I want a 0.003 shoulder bump and on my bolt guns when I do full length resize I want a 0.0015 to 0.002 shoulder bump. What I do is take a hornady headspace gauge and measure the headspace of my fired brass. Basically you are measuring from the case base to some point on the shoulder. Sometimes I use my bullet comparators. Just as long as you are measuring to some point on the shoulder. write it down. I can't remember ****.

Now screw it all the way down to the shellholder and back it off a quarter of a turn. Now this is backed off quite a bit more than you need to but it is much better to work up slowly than to oversize. More times you do it the better your will get at judging how much to back off. Then you size the case and measure the shoulder. Screw the die down a little more and try it again. Trust me when you get close just a little turn makes a huge difference. Once you find the sweet spot and size several with the correct bump lock that lock ring down and you will never have to do this again. [/QUOTE]
