[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2910203, member: 122164"] There is a lot to digest in Carey's post. Tulsa, Carey is probably speaking of two different things that got you confused, maybe. The bolt face to shoulder length is one issue, and the headspace on the belt is another issue. Carey is explaining what he does, and to some degree how he does it. His method is extremely advanced with custom tooling. Carey's first line in his post is critical. I hope that Carey chimes in and teaches more. He has already gone way out on a limb in posting his advanced processes, took a lot of courage! Also, Carey's statement, [COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)]"So I'm pretty sure that I'm helping ensure that stretching in the chamber happens at the shoulder, not at the web"[/COLOR] is Noteworthy. I have a question about this, [COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)]"Whenever I full-length size, the squeeze of the case body causes the case to lengthen by about 0.002". If I don't bump the shoulders at all after the first firing, the cases chamber is a little snug in my short-headspace chamber. So I bump the shoulders back to the same headspace they came out of the chamber. I continue to do this on subsequent firings. Haven't seen a need to bump the shoulders shorter than they came out of the chamber."[/COLOR] Am I to assume that you partially full-length size, then bump the shoulder back with a separate die in a second operation, or does a partial full-length size to the shoulder length of the fire-formed case suffice since you took .004 off the bottom of the die?
