[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1691743, member: 97414"] Take 5 chunks of brass,,, reload them 5 X's using the neck sizing part only,,, on the 2nd or 3rd neck sizing only thing you'll notice that the bolt handle is getting tight... An indication that the shoulder needs bumping back... I call it the 2 to 1 or 3 to 1,,, 3 neck sizing to a shoulder bump back as soon as I notice a tight bolt handle closing... Im in the sweet spot... This might be the best mileage of your brass,,, of course you get to decide what works for you... Once I find the 2:1 or 3:1,,, I put my collet die away and do shoulder bump back of 1 to 2 thou for target shooting stuff,,, 3 thou bump back for hunting loads,,, ain't no way I'm going to find out the hard way on a hunting trip... LOL Any-Who,,, if you can close the bolt handle on 5 firings of 1 peace of brass with very little bolt handle restrictions,,, your probilibly safe to incress the charge,,, but,,, with out the proper measuring tools your heading down a slippery slope... When I feel a """tight""" bolt handle closing on a neck sized only case on shot 2 or 3... That tells me that it's about as far as I want to push the envelope... The trick is accuracy not speed,,, at least in my books it is... Cheers from the North [/QUOTE]
