[QUOTE="Shane Lindsey, post: 2290005, member: 25831"] Not sure if this helps, but when trying to set my bump, I do not run the same case back into the press while testing for fit in the rifle. I usually lube up 6-8..or whatever it takes. Adjust die for initial set up, run the case up and clean. Then test fit in the chamber. If it isn't where I want it, I move onto one of the other case I lubed and have not sized. Once I get my die set, I will then re-lube and run the initial ones to the correct bump, but not multiple times because of work hardening. Stuck case because I did not do it this way...YUP! How many times have you fired these cases. I have found that setting my dies on once fired cases (not fully formed) will not give enough bump on more firings. I am struggling with a Hornady Die and Lee press. It will not cam over so I have no real way to tell, I just have to give it a little love, not issue with Redding dies and same press. [/QUOTE]
