If you anneal the case necks will expand when the heat is applied. I always bump/size after annealing. Gilley, set your die to bump .001” every time and life will be easy for you. Then again, don’t and some of us lesser shooters can win!

I don’t think that a bump or NK size will give you a difference on the target during load work. It will affect your group during a match, due to wresting w/ the rifle between shots. The common practice in LR BR is to bump .001-.002” to avoid the wrestling/ disrupting the rifle on the bags. Short Range boys are watching daisy wheels and fla…[Read more]

There is nothing wrong w/ questioning anything that you read on the www. But your question asked for the seater die (don’t take that line the wrong way).

I don’t think it is oil that is slowing you down. I think it is the increased friction from the extremely clean barrel. The fouling from the prior jackets will fill any imperfections in the bore making it slick.
