[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1147462, member: 48043"] In short, yes you should get a shoulder bump die.... fl and small base dies aren't designed to just bump the shoulder back a bit. It will work fine most times, but you can and sometimes do leave some accuracy on the table because you aren't keeping the brass straight. A better way (if you want to properly bump your brass with fl/sb dies)is to get a set of competition shellholders so you can match how much insertion into the die you need while still closing the die. Another option is to get your rifle headspaced properly so you can use your existing equipment. I finally did that with my 7stw barrel as it was retiring the brass at three firings when set up for accuracy. It would have worked fine but someone had gun-plumbed the rifle and didn't check the receiver thread dimensions before ordering the barrel. Thirty thou. loose is way to loose in the rifle game. Needless to say I had a new match grade barrel in 7mmstw fitted properly to the receiver... [/QUOTE]
