Worked up a great 9.3x57 load for my Husqvarna rifle (Thanks SeaBee). Was ecstatic to get a 0.68" group at 100 yards with the 79 year old rifle shooting 270grain Speers!
After firing, the shoulder moved down about 0.005". Interesting part is the shoulder moved down, yet they loaded easily into the chamber. No additional force required and the chamber did not feel tight at all. Any theories?
Brass is hard to find and expensive so I would like to Neck Resize only since the load is to be fired in this one gun exclusively. Since I mostly reload for Handguns and the AR, I have always full-length resized. For this Bolt Action, I would like to neck resize only. I have Hornady Signature Series Rifle dies. The way I understand Neck Resizing is I back the sizing die off a little bit so the die doesn't bump the shoulder.
Question is how to determine the correct amount to back the die off to only Neck Resize?
