[QUOTE="TexSavage, post: 2594649, member: 6245"] I set my Redding full lenght dies years ago per manufacturers instructions. All worked fine, rifle shot just under MOA out to 450 yards. Then some years ago I watch a video by Broz over at Long Range Only about how to set up a FL die for just bumping back the shoulder. It made so much sense that I reset my die and now bump backabout .002 End results are sub .5 MOA at 450, better SD, much longer case life. Brass is difficult to get at a price where it might not matter, but I'm using Norma brass and it's pricey plus, I believe in getting the most out of my equipment and brass. Most of my Norma cases have 4 to 6 reloads on them. My retired Federal Nickel plated have at least 11 reloads on them as do my WW brass. The one brass that had poor life has been the Nosler brass. I had three case head seperations on resizing after 3 reloads. I was concerned and checked my Federal Nickel, Winchester brass, and Norma brass and none showed signs of case wall thinning near the case head. The Norma did on multiple cases, so I turned it into dummy practice rounds I use for dry fire practice. My two cents worth, YMMV! EDIT - I do shoot a 300WSM [/QUOTE]
