[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 1733890, member: 18849"] That initial "false" shoulder on new brass will add additional life to the case by eliminating that first firing "stretch" caused by shorter base to shoulder measurement on new unfired cases. The first firing of a case has a lot to do with its useful life. Primer pocket life can also be extended by not shooting full power loads when the brass is new, preferably for two or more firings. Frequent annealing will also provide for more accurate and consistent shoulder bumping. My .02, Randy [/QUOTE]
