[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1698052, member: 38048"] I never want my press to cam over. I even turn my does down to get them short enough to bump my shoulders. If you make zero headspace chambers 50% of dies won't bump the shoulder at all. Here is my way. Use imperial wax. I lube one case and put it in press. I let it sit there till I have the next piece lubes. Then I take the brass out of press and put next one in. This lets your brass sit under compression for 5 to 10 seconds. If you are measuring every one and find a short one just put it back in press for another 10 seconds and remeasure. Proper annealing will give you closer results. I never put lube on my shoulders. Just the body. I do lube 243 necks when forming 6slr brass. If you can feel your brass as you close your bolt they are still to long. If you take the firing pin out of your bolt and close it on a brass the handle should close under its own weight. Too tight brass will give you all kinds of vertical. I normally set my brass back .004 this gives room in case one only bumps .003 it still fits loose. I know guys at Williamsport 1000 yard range that bump .008 and he's the world record holder.
