[QUOTE="ericbc7, post: 1698372, member: 79488"] I have had the same problem. If you have any space between the shell holder and the die, you don’t need the Redding shell holders - they add to the problem if you are having trouble bumping shoulders back enough. If you are camming over (which is good for consistancy) then two things might be happening. First is that you are getting inconsistent springback of the brass and you need to anneal your brass. Second is the die and shell holder combination is not letting you push the shoulder back far enough which is cured by grinding the die or shell holder a bit. Remember to keep that shell holder dedicated to that set of dies. The first solution is easy with a torch and drill method of annealing. The second is a judgment call and remembering that shell holders are cheaper than dies so grind the shell holder before you wreck a good set of dies. Letting the press dwell at the top of the stroke can help with consistency but this works better if the cases are newly annealed. [/QUOTE]
