dannywayoflife Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 I am still very new to reloading but thus far have been very successful and have developed a load for my 223 that's sub .5" @ 100 and I zinging along nicely I have been using lee collet dies but have just had to fl size all my cases as the shoulders have crept forward. Is there anyway just to bump the shoulders without loosing all the fire forming of the case? Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagged 77 Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Get a Redding body die and set it to just bump the shoulder back, this is a great die to use along with the Lee collet. I bet you won't see any change of performance with bumped cases over neck sized only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 I use Redding body dies on the basis that by the time the shoulders need bumping to ensure slick chambering the rest of the body will likely need a small size reduction as well. I then use seperate bushing neck dies to get the neck tension that I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then use seperate bushing neck dies to get the neck tension that I want. That's an excellent approach. An expensive alternative is to get a custom full length resizing die made from your fired brass. Regards JCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
