[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 26645, member: 34"] Jake Bottom it (die) out or set the die so you have to overcam when sizing the case. This will bump the shoulder for sure. Don't overcam to far though, just enough to feel the die bottom out with the press handle and then a firmness can be felt as the handle goes down and then it has a release as the handle bottoms out. We call this procedure overcaming to size further down the case and bump the shoulder.. I'm not sure you gain anything by bumping the shoulder though. Once the new case is fireformed to the chamber, I usually just full length size the case after about five firings. Up to that point, I normally just neck size about 3/4 of the neck after each firing up to five. Personal preferance I guess. Later DC [/QUOTE]
