[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 303196, member: 4885"] I've had dies that would not touch the shoulder of once fired brass, this will happen with smallr/tighter chambers. Sometimes the shoulder does not move forward as you start to resize the case. In my WSM (the example I documented), the case did not grow at all during the resizeing, I think this is due to the chamber being pretty tight compared to the die, so the amount of body resizing that took place was minimal. To get the growth forward you are asking about, I only know of 2 methods. 1) high pressure loads. 2) Use a load that allows bullet to land contact for the first firing. This is no different than fireforming for wildcats. This method, along with high pressure is probably your best bet. AJ [/QUOTE]
