[QUOTE="Broz, post: 469413, member: 7503"] This is my prefered method and I feel it is a good one. I use redding bushing dies and a Redding T-7 turret press. I was instructed by redding to set the die up in this press for a slight cam over. This means that the die is slightly in contat with the shell holder when the ram is fully extended and you can feel the handle "cam over". The beauty in this is that you get the exact same ram extension each time you pull the lever regardless of how fast or hard you pull the handle. Even if you remove the die, the next time you set it up you will be right back to the exact same amout of ram extension. I use a standard shell holder for neck sizing and a stepped shell holder for when I am bumping back the shoulders. By removing the firing pn assembly and spring from your bolt, you can feel the tension of the shoulder interfearence when closing the bolt. I keep stepping up the shell holder with one with a higher floor till the bolt just closes with minimal drag. To me this means I have just set the shoulder back just enough but not excessively. All redding shell holders are the same height from bottom to top. The stepped shell holders have a stepped floor (where the case head sits) to adjust how far you push the case up into the die. Start with the shortest one and work up. Hope this helps, it would be easier to demonstrate than explain in writing.:) Jeff [/QUOTE]
