[QUOTE="jimbires, post: 2235914, member: 11011"] I use either a full length die , or a body die , for bumping the shoulder . what I do is take a fired piece of brass and neck size only . load and fire it . neck size only , load and fire it . after 3 or 4 loadings you'll feel the rifle getting tight to close on this neck sized/ reloaded brass . when I get the tight to close brass I use this to set up my full length die to bump the shoulder about .002 " . the most consistent way I've found to do this bump is with redding competition shellholders . you start with the +.010 shellholder , and keep going to the next shellholder until you get your desired bump . you will either need a tool to measure your brass case length , or you'll need to strip the bolt and size the brass until the bolt drops freely . Alex Wheeler has a few very good videos . one is on doing sizing this way . while you have the bolt stripped , you should also find your bullet to lands measurement too .
