[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 1836918, member: 105459"] I would follow the advise given and full length resize all your brass after I had tumbled in a steel pin media. Next I would reccomend the use of the Redding Competition Shell Holder Set(caliber specific) for your rifle in conjunction with the Redding Body Die (again caliber specific). This will allow you to taylor your cases shoulder length to to one certain weapon) The beauty of this is that once your die is set up and you find the optimum setting for your case to bolt closure, well it will never vary. As an added plus you will not constantly be readjusting your FL die. It also will allow cases with slightly enlarged heads to once again seat fully and not hang up, or bind when chambering a round( checked in a head space gauge). Next I would trim to length and then anneal your brass. [B][I]In this manner you are treating your brass as if it was new and not fired from different guns with different chamber tolerances. The whole key is uniformity ! [/I][/B] Now that you have brought your brass back to your weapons initial chamber dimensions .it would be a simple matter to use the Redding Competition Shell Holder Set and adjust your cases to fit in a second weapon of the same caliber simply by using the different shell holder from the Redding set which vary in thickness from .002"- .010" in order to correctly fit that second weapons chamber.[B] ( What I do is color the newly primed brass by using a magic marker on the seated primer in different colors to keep them segregated as a visual indicator of which brass will chamber into which rifle)[/B] I realize that you already are bump sizing your brass, however I feel that once you use the Redding Competition Shell Holder Set in conjunction with the Redding Body Die you will see just how quickly you can adjust your brass to conform to one or more weapons of the same caliber. [I]Please watch U tube related videos !.[/I] Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
