[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 405318, member: 1290"] Bump the shoulder?.......... Uhhh...... hmmmmmm. Measurement?? I just keep my bolts lugs lubed up and do that when I close the bolt. I try to neck size only with the old Lee Collet dies. That's a precision as this kid gets. I do bump them when I loose neck tension then I anneal and am good to go for another 5 times. I have to set up the die each time and then just only bump enough to get the bolt handle to drop with minimal resistance. No measures required. I do it by feel. The less you work on your brass the longer it will last. I have 7 mag and 300 Wby brass that have gone 30 times. The 257Wby is hard on primer pockets when I get greedy. The 22-250 brass is almost 20 years old now and it gets reloaded 2 to 5 times a year. Did I mention I like Lee Collet dies? [/QUOTE]
