[QUOTE="Paper boy, post: 1919547, member: 110735"] Fifty years from now these questions will still be asked! Let me say this from many years of Bench rest shooting. I was once a believer in Bumping back shoulders as it was almost a fad until shooters came to realize the reality of it all. Amazingly, what many don't know is that bumping the neck to factory specs happen automatacly when you full length size your brass. When I stopped neck sizing and shoulder bumping my groups inproved dramaticaly. Try to remember that the rifles and ammo are all to sammi specks. By bumping the shoulder back you deviate from thoes specs and are now allowing the dies to change the dementions from what should have been to what is as a result. I know full well that my comments here are going to stir up a hornets nest but so be it. Used to be, when using an auto rifle we would always full size all our brass or "Fire form" the brass to fit the chamber. If you look at this we have at least 4 different methods of sizing brass, full length, neck sizing, bump sizing and fire forming. THEY CAN'T BE ALL CORRECT, but they sure sell a bunch of new dies!
