[QUOTE="Timeout, post: 1803437, member: 50852"] This much I can tell you from experience, if you push the shoulder too far back, you will begin to have misfires. The commonly held practice is to set your FL die up for .002" shoulder bump with regards to the fired case dimension. In a perfect world looking for maximum accuracy, some set up their die to create a very slight resistance when closing the bolt. That of course is done with the firing pin and ejector removed. This forum is Long Range Hunting, so for all practical purposes IMHO the .002" shoulder bump is sufficient. One thing I do on my Rem 700 actions used for hunting is to trim the ejector spring to lessen the amount of force against the side of the cartridge case head. Whether it helps accuracy or not, I don't know. I do know that it drops the spent cartridge a lot nearer to where I'm standing and makes it easier to recover. Not a big deal when hunting, but it sure helps during practice and load development. [/QUOTE]
