[QUOTE="Trikstr, post: 617581, member: 39340"] Something else that helped me is to color the shoulder with black permanant marker. Remove the bushing from the die and screw it out and start resizing until you see the black show evidence of losing its shine. It makes it easier to tell when die is making contact with shoulder. Then you can screw die in in small increments until you feel slight resistance when closing bolt. Don't forget to keep the case lubed up. Hopefully your having a shoulder bump issue and not a chamber body that is larger than the die can resize. Which I have seen happen. The marker color comes off with rubbing alcohol. I also use the marker to check bullet engagement into the rifling. [/QUOTE]
