[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 861307, member: 2736"] Personally , I don't recommend setting the shoulder back at all unless your brass is hard to chamber and then only enough to close the bolt. Next - .006 to .007 head space is to much In My Opinion and loads the bolt when the case impacts the bolt. It also works the brass to much and shortens case life. Also mixing powders is never a good idea. Some times you get away with it and sometimes you don't. To save the rest of your brass, I would pull the bullets, dump the powder. and load with un-mixed powder in a reduced charge to fire form. (Don't go below the minimum listed charge). To make a mistake is human, Not to learn from a mistake is dumb. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
