[QUOTE="Joe King, post: 686797, member: 47325"] Make sure I'm understanding you. your new brass measures X.000 at the shoulder and once fired unsized measures X.009 at the shoulder? Your setting your dies to bump the shoulder back just slightly? If I'm understanding you correctly it sounds like your doing a partial resize pretty much correctly. On my rifles that I used FL dies with I won't let it bump the shoulder until the brass has grown enough to offer some resistance to closing the bolt, then I'll turn the dies down bit by bit until the bolt closes freely but you can still feel the case. If that makes any sense to you.:) [/QUOTE]
