[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 3021260, member: 109229"] With regard to Shoulder bumping, I think it's also important to have a Lee deprimimg die to pop the primers out before measuring the shoulders of the fired case, otherwise if you've got a tiny bit of primer protrusion or a mild crater it will result in an artificially high baseline to subtract from for your bump. I target a .002 bump for bolt actions and a .003 bump for my gas guns. Have your rifle handy and check the first few cases you size. A tiny bit of resistance (I think) is good when camming the bolt on a sized case. If you follow some of the destructions from the die manufacture and have a firm cam-over on the press stroke, you'll bump the shoulder a mile. Start at contact with the shell holder and go 1/8 turn incrementally until you get the bump you want. It will drive you crazy the first few times but once you got it down, you will be OK. This is trial and error. Take it from somebody who just spilled H1000 all over his bench. [/QUOTE]
