I have had exactly 2 problems with not enough sizing. I do not understand all the fuss about "bumping" the shoulder.



The generic instructions mostly lead to too much sizing.

THIS^^^
I've got dies that would bump 0-.010 if I set them up like the instructions, one die set I had to take .010 off the top of the shell holder to get it to bump .002.
You can "feel" .002 to each his own though.
