[QUOTE="MAD10, post: 1716747, member: 29370"] WildBill G, I see your point and what I'll say is yes you [are or do] have to work your brass somewhat I mean we are FL sizing after all right? I still have to put my ram in the uppermost position on my press and screw my die body down till it touches then a slight turn more for just a touch of cam over ...BUT I am starting with the shell holder marked .010 not the standard shell holder and then if I don't get the 2 thou bump I'm looking for I try the .008 then .006 .004 and lastly .002 somewhere in there I will see my 2 thou bump I am looking for. Hope this helps. The end state, is as we all know, is brass that is just a touch smaller than fired but sized only enough to allow for easy removal in all field conditions. If I was running a bench rest gun then I might only neck size my brass. In fact I know a few hunters that only neck size and get great results but will have on occasion a piece of brass that does not chamber smoothly or may get stuck during extraction after firing - not much of an issue at the range but in the field I'd think that is a bad situation without a cleaning rod around so I FL size and bump my shoulders.
