    6.5x47 and measuring shoulder bump

    I FL size my brass and normally use the RCBS precision Mic. The problem is that RCBS doesn't make one in a 6.5x47. I was wondering what everyone uses to measure how much the shoulder has been bumped? Would the .243 mic work since the .243 and 6.5x47 both have 40 degree shoulders?

    Advanced Marksmanship How sore does your shoulder get?

    How sore does your shoulder get after a session at the "range"? I am so sore after the last two weeks sessions, that it hurts to dry-fire my rifle. Seriously. Anyone else experience this?

    Bumping the shoulder on a 6.5x47

    Given the scarcity of 6.5x47 reloading equipment, what is anyone using to bump the shoulder? I use a Redding body die for my 223, but they don't make one for 6.5x47. I have a Sinclair case gauge for 6.5x47 that lets me know if I am in range. After firing 20 rounds of factory Lapua ammo, the case...
