[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5874265, member: 2805"] Also, wondering about this... one of the ways I set my sizing die is to pull the bolt shroud and firing pin from the bolt, then chamber a fired case. There is a faint hint amount of resistance dropping the bolt. I bump the shoulder on the brass till all resistance is gone and the bolt drops freely on the resized case. To verify its only bumped back .002in, I put a piece of scotch tape on the case head, and slight resistance recurs when I drop the bolt, letting me know the brass was worked back .002in. On this rifle, after I pulled the shroud and firing pin, there was resistance in bolt dropping on an empty chamber, so I had to use a case comparator to measure shoulder bump when resizing. Dunno what that means tho... just found it to be different than what I was used to. [/QUOTE]
