[QUOTE="Jeffpatton00, post: 1927654, member: 97649"] Circling back on this - I did bump my shoulder back .004, but found that the bodies hadn't been sized enough all the way to the base, and the case diameter ended up too large in the last half or 3/4" to allow the bolt to go into battery. However, the spring slammed the BCG forward hard enough that the cases got stuck and were extremely difficult to remove. So, and I hope I didn't miss it above, how can I FL size the body to be usable in my gas gun, but only bump the shoulder 4 or 5 thousandths? VLD Pilot says that the dies just work that way, but that would mean I'd be unable to control the shoulder bump if I size the cases enough to seat in my chamber. Is that true? I've ordered a Redding body die, but as I read more, I'm seeing that that die bumps shoulder as well as sizing the case, so I may not have gained anything - I'll try it when it arrives and report on how it works for me.
