[QUOTE="Carey Farmer, post: 2553890, member: 122715"] Yes RR, I normally full length size all my cases before first firing, but the dimensions I quoted in the initial post for the new cases was prior to sizing. After measuring the virgin cases, I did full length size them, taking care not to further bump the shoulders even shorter. As it turned out, my die bottomed out against the shell holder before touching the case shoulders. I don't think bumping the shoulders back a thousandths or so affects accuracy. Just helps ensure easy chambering and extraction in subsequent firings. [/QUOTE]
