[QUOTE="Redfoot Ranch, post: 2509841, member: 118915"] I don't set the shoulder back until I begin to see the headspace on 80% or so of the cases in that batch becoming uniform in length or when a fired case feels tight closing the bolt back on it. I have a GO gauge for each cartridge I run and headspace barrels myself. I don't care to work my brass any more than necessary so I prefer to run a bushing that is no more than a thou under the mandrel I plan to use for my desired neck tension based on testing and tuning. I anneal every firing so the cost of premium brass isn't bad when you can fire it many times. I also load all new brass with a charge that's right at 90% of Quickload max to harden up the case heads for longer primer pocket life. I prefer the slower node over the fast for better barrel life.
