I was talking to a friend of mine who shoots benchrest and he was telling me that I should set up my shoulder bump/full length dies to headspace just enough to push the ejector back some.
I have in the past been setting them up so that the bolt will close on a resized case with little to no resistance. (As the instructions for the dies recommend.)
He was telling me that for benchrest they headspace the case so that they can fell just a little resistance when the bolt is closed. This is done with the firing pin removed to take away the resistance of compressing the firing pin spring.
What do you guys think of this?
