[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 508216, member: 1521"] This can be an issue(among many) with FL sizing, depending on your cartridge design, chamber, die match, and load. As the die works down the case body and sizes the lower body(more than anywhere else), it's squishing brass upward(toward least resistance), back into the shoulders & neck, defeating any bump. You might also notice the brass growning in OAL, donuts forming, and frequent need for trimming. IMO, this is a point where you've gone too far for THAT die & YOUR chamber formed brass. You shouldn't have to work brass hard for a standard bump. [/QUOTE]
