[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 198337, member: 8"] First you probably need to anneal the necks at this point in time being as they have been fired quite a few times. Then you will need either a full length die or a body die. To set the shoulder back take the case that is the hardest to close the bolt on and check to make sure it doesn't need to be trimmed real bad. Lube it up. Size the neck. Delube it and try it in the chamber. If the bolt is still stiff then put the body die in the press and run it down until you have maybe a quarter inch gap or less between the bottom of the die and the shell holder. Relube the case and run it into the body die which probably accomplished absolutely nothing but wipe it off and try it in the chamber. If it is still hard to chamber then screw the die down a turn and lube the case and run it into the die. Wipe it off and try it in the camber. Run the die down about a half a turn and do it all over again. Run the die down about a quarter of a turn and do it all again. Keep this up until the die just barely moves the shoulder back and the case is easy to chamber. Lock the die ring on the die so it is set forever and doomsday. Run all of your cases through. Check them all for length and trim if needed. Now then if you don't know how to anneal cases then start a new thread because it is a whole world unto itself. [/QUOTE]
