[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1314792, member: 1521"] Using a body die for bumping, I creep in close to intended with a small amount of RCBS case lube. Then I add a smidge more lube to the shoulder & size for better. It's just another thin wipe with my fingers. After a bit, I get pretty good at it, and I'm watching as I always measure each. All cases hold there own character, and some will spring back more, taking more lube to hit target. Some will spring back less.. Where I over bump slightly on this, I use them anyway & clean the die where a trend is apparent. But if it seems many it's time to anneal the batch. I bump 1thou (+/-) 1/2thou. With that I can well chamber for ~2months. If I need to store ammo longer, I'll bump 2thou (-)1/2thou. My primer crush settings are similar and likewise. [/QUOTE]
