[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 1919302, member: 87887"] Depending on the pressures you are running, you may get a few firings before your shoulder grows enough to be a tight fit in your chamber that makes it difficult to close the bolt. When I first started reloading, I thought I was full length resizing but after my third or fourth reload, I noticed the loaded rounds were sometimes stiff to close the bolt. If you never get that shoulder to this point and continue to "bump the shoulder back", you are continually headspacing off of the belt and stretching your brass every firing. This will lead to premature case head separations. [/QUOTE]
