[QUOTE="Rflamm250, post: 1613512, member: 105493"] First if you have a unfired cartridge, measure the base to datum line on shoulder with headspace gauge. Then compare that to a fired case. I suspect yoy will find the fired case .005 or more longer. Most people will tell you to only bump the shoulder .002. . Doing this your new internal capacity has gained space. Your old load recipe will now have to adjust for the gained capacity. It should not be much but how much you have gained in capacity will determine how much. I was in your shoes at one time and wish i had some help. Good luck [/QUOTE]
