[QUOTE="dkhunt14, post: 999585, member: 14053"] Yes you can cut the shoulder off a die and remove from the bottom and get what you need. Some of the problem might be the case on the WSM. It is so thick at the base. Cut one apart and see. It is just about as thick as the 338 Lapua case. After you get what you need then you can run it in your full length bushing die to get your neck tension and shoulder bump. If you are not getting any size on the case at the .200 line you will get what you describe; or bolt click like the match shooters call it. I have a 4 digit Mitutoyo digital friction thimble mike that will repeat measurements. I can tell if my die is moving the brass and where. A lot of people think that necksizing is more accurate. That is not true. I have seen some of the best 10 shot groups fired in 1000 yard BR shot while fireforming cases. That is when the case is at the smallest it is ever going to be. I like my cases to go in and out the gun easily. It doesn't matter if I'm hunting or Target shooting. Matt [/QUOTE]
