Or any one that has some insight but I know zeke is the resident expert.
Question on necking down brass and shoulder bump. As I posted before I’m building a 22 creedmore. Dies are a pain right now so I’ve bought 6.5 redding bushing dies to neck down the brass. Pretty straight forward there. I’ve stepped the necks down with three bushings and they came out perfect.
Question I have is bumping the shoulders back. I have a 6.5 redding body die. Now I don’t have my rifle back yet to measure the chamber but when I do, and bump those shoulders will the neck being down to .251 (as supposed to 6.5 spec) make for an un even shoulder or should it bump back at the right shape?
After I necked down all my brass it occurred to me that maybe I should have bumped shoulders first. But then I guess that die wouldn’t work for resizing my now 22 brass in the future. I over thinking this?
