[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 169092, member: 7"] You still haven't said what case/cartridge this is... ... but it "sounds" like you have a chamber that is 10 thou too long for your bump die, so you are using a +10 shell holder to compensate... (are you using a real bump die, or just using a FL die?) If you use shorter shell holders, you can control the amount of bump - a +8 shell holder will make the case 2 thou shorter (in headspace, not OAL), and a +6 shell holder will make it 4 thou shorter. I am an "annealer" and do lots and lots of annealing, so I'm not knocking it, but in this situation, you might be better served by having a +8 and a +6 shell holder in your kit. Then you can "tweak" any tight cases without dragging out the ol' propane torch. GG... I'm not fussy, I take it where I can get it. ;) ;) . [/QUOTE]
