[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1315663, member: 1521"] Yes, and stressing a press with shell holder contact, over & over, will not change what the brass will do. The cases will just continue to spring back to where they have -until a logical adjustment to sizing is made. I hate bumping, but I am really good at it for small to medium hunting cartridges, so far. None of my dies contact shell holders with bumping. There is no reason that would be a proper setting for my brass, and loads, out of my chambers(they're all different). Most of my dies are also custom. Can't imagine off the shelf dies having a better match of what my chambers produce. All I can figure is factory die makers must be latching onto die bottom as a datum. They want you to take their die to that datum. Well, don't forget that factory dies likely do not match what your chamber/load produces in cases, and that bumping is a seriously precise action. If making your own die. It's your choice, and I'm just suggesting you can make it work well either way. [/QUOTE]
