[QUOTE="Lionel Boyd Johnson, post: 2387848, member: 110111"] To get the best feel of closing resistance, if you can, remove the firing pin & spring assembly from your bolt. Ensure that the extractor is already gripping the case and gently try to turn the bolt closed. You'll soon develop a "feel" for how the bolt closes on near-zero headspace brass. Then set your die to bump the shoulder back 0.002" to 0.003". Happy New Year. [/QUOTE]
