[QUOTE="Vomact, post: 1046667, member: 85311"] If you are using standard full length dies and press you can bump them fairly easily. "Smoke' the neck of the fired case with a candle flame. Then back the die off from the press cylinder with the press ram fully extended. Run the case into the die. Pay careful attention to how much of the neck gets sized as you progressively turn the die down. When you have determined the die position for 'neck only' resizing, to should turn the die down in [B][I][U]small [/U][/I][/B]increments (1/8 a turn or less) and then test the case in your rifle to test how much resistance there is to chambering. Each time you turn the die down the case should become easier to chamber i.e. bolt closure becomes easier as the shoulder is progressively moved back. Exactly where you stop depends upon the chamber of your rifle and how much of a 'bump' back you want. Case life can be greatly enhanced by neck only and\or bumping the shoulder Many sources can be found on the web on this procedure. If you use Gold Medal RCBS bushing dies the instructions on bumping the shoulder come with the dies. Some die manufacturers make special shoulder bump only dies. I hope this answers your question.
