[QUOTE="Timeout, post: 1355249, member: 50852"] From experience I would agree with Alex that excessive shoulder bump can affect ignition. I would add that it can shorten brass life when taken to the extreme and even cause case head separation. Extending case life is my main reason for using custom dies that are sized according to brass fired in said rifles chamber. Hard chambering is not always as a result of shoulder bump. If your die is not sizing the brass according to the chamber dimensions, it does no good to keep shoving the shoulder rearward. Another reason that I vote for custom dies. [/QUOTE]
