[QUOTE="jsthntn247, post: 836204, member: 14894"] I am running the brass up in the case far enough to get a .001 shoulder bump so it feeds easily in a match. Any more and I get to excessive of a bump and any less I get no bump at all. This die doesn't have an expander, it's strictly a body die. This die is squeezing the cases down .004 when .001 is all that's needed to chamber properly. This excessive squeezing is working the brass 4x more than needed and leading to shorter brass life. I guess the only way to fix it is custom dies made from a fired piece of brass. I have my own reamer so each chamber from now on should be identicle and maybe justify the added cost of the die.
