[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 312535, member: 307"] Walker1, After the first firing I don't try to re-size the whole case again until it has to be done. You'll know by the difficulty in closing the bolt on the re-sized case. Anyway, to smoke the case, I lube the inside of the neck and then roll them on the lube pad. I wipe off any lube from the neck/shoulder area and then take a Bic lighter and hold it about 1-1.5" from the case neck/shoulder and slowly rotate the case to smut it. When you run the case up in the die this will show where the die and case are touching. I wipe it off before sticking it in my rifle chamber and re-smut it if more adjustment is needed. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 attempts to get what I'm looking (or feeling) for. This method allows me to bump the shoulder back enough to get that slight resistance when I close the bolt on a round.
