    Prbably mangled my description of the "right-sizing" caper.


    Yes, neck size for heck "grip" and shoulder contact.. The partial use of the FLS die (not touching the shoulder area, is to just reduce the case body (tapered) diameter for a close fit (not "tight) . Yes, it is essentially "headspacing" to the shoulder, a la rimless cases. If, like me, you only have ONE rifle in that calibre, it is no great challenge to build "matching" ammo. If you are dedicated lucky enough to have a whole fleet of them and you want to shoot most / all of them, have fun..

    Related: who sells the "base bumping" gear?

    I have almost a thousand thousand Mk 8 bullets that need "rectification".
