[QUOTE="Innovative, post: 450157, member: 527"] Jeff ..... Sometimes keeping it too simple causes problems. If you wait for your handloads get tight before bumping the shoulder, your accuracy will suffer. We always try to make concentric handloads, and if they're jammed into a chamber tight - they become anything but concentric. Another reason to "measurie things" is to determine exactly what is causing your handloads to be tight. A tight fit is not always caused by the shoulder. Quite often shooters will bump the shoulder back, when the real problem is case width. When the shoulder gets bumped back too many times, it stretches the case and causes headspace separation. This is especially common with belted calibers. [/QUOTE]
