[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 2009023, member: 38048"] Az how much did you need to cut off the bottom? A 300wsm only has . 017 from base to shoulder difference. To get . 005 more sizing you need to cut nearly 1/3 of the bottom off. And if that becomes the new bottom what happens at the top when it comes down 1/3rd more. Would that top squeeze too much on the top 1/3 of your brass. I'm not talking about shoulder bump because I know you cut the top off the die. I would think once you got the bottom to the diameter you need you would have to open up the diameter at the top. Just trying to figure this out. I have about 3 sizing dies in 300wsm. I think I can spare one to try this out. Shep [/QUOTE]
