Setting back shoulders

[6Dasher]

Hi,

Does anyone have experience setting back the shoulders on 6BR brass? Anything I should keep in mind or watch for? I am working on a wildcat based on the 6BR case and need to shorten it a bit. I want to avoid donuts as this is a pain to remove without marring the inside of the necks...

When you push a shoulder back, the brass that was in the top of the shoulder is pushed into the bottom of the neck, forming a doughnut.....basic stuff. The same thing happens when you neck up a case. In your case, leave the expanding mandrel in the neck for a ten count and then turn it right away.

Boyd,
I’m guessing Jim may have figured it out by now since this post is 19 years old lol

Does Boyd get a trophy for the oldest resurrection?

Dang, I haven't seen one that old come back to the surface.
It's gotta be the similar thread feature causing it.

Nice to see these old threads resurrected. Sometimes you pick up a nugget that you missed in the past.

Bill,
Boyd doesn’t do things by accident he had a method to his madness so to speak. He loves to teach and he’s good at it. I was just razzing him, I’ve spent hours on the phone with him.

Yea , I figured as much. I've never talked to him on the phone but we have P M ed and I enjoy talking with him. He complimented my new rifle and the first 5-shot group blowing out brass yesterday. He seems like a fine fellow. Bill

I like seeing old post it reminds of me back in my prime, just because it’s old doesn’t mean it’s not relevant today
it would be hard now to ask something here that has not been discussed before
