I have a couple new to me Contender barrels I'd like to do some reloading for….
The first step in my process (after brass forming) is to pressure test to determine a max load.
So 2 questions…..
When I FL size, how much should I bump the shoulder? Fired cases measure +0.012" plus to the barrel face, but the barrel closes on a 0.003" feeler gage max. I'll recheck and post again later.
What are the pressure signs before frame stretching? This is a Contender not G2. Hard to open? Primers? Other?
