[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 921313, member: 39801"] Mark - I've never heard of the cant issue, but it makes perfect sense. I'll put that one in the archives for the future. As far as shaving a die, I wasn't saying never do it, just that I wouldn't if new brass fired in that chamber would sized and chamber adequately. My preference is not to "chase" an issue that is IMO a one-off and is solved by changing brass. Clearly, YMMV. In any case, I have never had a die shaved and you have, and I have a question that may be relevant for the OP as well. My expectation would be that this will help if your need to push the shoulder farther back to make the brass chamber, and may also marginally increase sizing down at the bottom area of the case. If his issue ultimately turns out to be unrelated to shoulder bump/headspace, would shaving the die potentially result in excessive shoulder bump? Basically, does shaving a die allow you to further size the bottom "taper" of the case, and if so does it also push the shoulder back an equal amount? I would expect it would, but am interested in your experience. Brandon [/QUOTE]
