[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1865478, member: 97414"] If I use my Hornady Precision 6.5/06 FL dies using part of the stroke,,, the shoulders on my brass must be moving forward,,, I tried a few adjustments to figure out what was going on with this particular sizing die... Once I pass a certain point,,, the case walls start compressing that pushes the shoulder forward,,, if I keep turn the die down the worse it became... The bolt handle with no firing pin won't even get close to closing at that point,,, so I screw it down more so it can bunch up the shoulder so the handle will drop freely,,, the normal use of using FL Dies... I just tried JE's partial FL die sizing idea and things are working good"""so far.""" The sizing die must not be touching the case walls or just barely touching,,, the shoulder is not moving forward,,, and its sizing part of the neck,,, at least the bolt handle drops free doing it this way... Like I said on the above post,,, after shooting all 30 cartridges,,, I pulled the firing pin and each case must of sprong-back... free bolt handle drop with no tension... The best part was a few tight ladder shots at 200 meters with this hunting rifle,,, it sure shoots nice now... At least I'm not over working the brass which was happening before giving this a try...
