Hello,
I perplexed about something and would like to see if someone can explain this to me. So I recently subscribed to the bumping the shoulders back concept over the neck sizing concept. Since I'll be doing this I decided that I would dedicate one full length sizing die to this particular rifle and then just lock the die down.
So I have a bunch of fire formed brass. I take it and I size. Not what I need to get to so I dialed the die down and sent the case back in. No change. So I grab another piece of brass and send it into the die and it is different from the first.
So basically what I've found is that I can't change the sizing once I've sized the brass. It took me seven pieces of brass to get it right. Once I got it right I was able to produce as many identically sized pieces as I wanted.
Is this what is supposed to happen? Why?
I'd expect to be able to move the brass as many times as I want. As an example I had one piece of brass that was .007 under SAAMI I sent it up into the die after I got it all set and produced many .002 under SAAMI pieces but I wasn't able to move this one. Is this what is supposed to happen?
If I haven't explained clearly please let me know and I'll try again.
Thanks
Tom
