[QUOTE="Nevrsummr, post: 2610047, member: 112260"] When resizing cases do you use coal to measure how much the shoulder is being set back, or a shoulder comparator? Mainly for the initial setup of the die. Why do you choose this method? It seems to me that coal would give you a more accurate picture of the bump. Shoulder comparators tend to hit a different spot on the shoulder depending on cartridge, and there can be some movement forward of the comparator contact point, so you might not see the full measurement of shoulder movement. But ive been wrong before. Lol. [/QUOTE]
