[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2351483, member: 3099"] You guys should not worry about your brass or set ups with the brass getting longer when you size them. They are only following the laws of physics. When you squeeze the body back down to size the metal has to go somewhere. The only place it has to go is towards the shoulder end. And that's why you have to bump it back into place to get it to chamber. Like you are seeing, theoretically you can take the shoulder right to where your chamber puts it and it should chamber fine. Theoretically.... Now reality needs another .001 or so if it's not a bolt gun. O/P your brass life sucked because your were bumping back .0085". That works great for chambering right up to the point that the case gives up the ghost. Sounds like you are on the right track. Now you will have to check all your rifles in this caliber and set it for the shortest one, or load rifle specific ammo for each. [/QUOTE]
