[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4227753, member: 15054"] Lack of good lube on the case or lack of lube in the case neck will pull the shoulder forward some also. It does not take much in the inside of the neck. You can run a lubed finger over the case mouth and that will be enough most of the time. I was reloading outside in the sun at the shooting bench one day at Lexington gun range. I could not get the shoulders to push back on my .308 cases. I found out the die got hot in the sun and it was enough to do it. Even twisting the die in 1.5 turns after contacting the shell holder was no good. Darn sure it was bottomed out then. I duplicated the issue by heating the die in the oven to the same "feel temp" as the sun put on it. [/QUOTE]
