270 Win. shoulder adjustment?
How can the shoulder be moved forward? I know pushing the shoulder back is as simple as setting your FL die deeper in the press, but backing it out of the press doesn't seem to move the shoulder forward.
Using all RCBS equipment. Am I missing something (aside from brain cells)?

It can't be done with dies.
Fire the cartridge. (Unless you've pushed the shoulder back far enough to cause head spacing issues.) Neck size only. Be happy. |

Thanks. I'm glad I don't have reason to move the shoulder; more of a thought experiment than anything else.
Yeah, everything's fine with the rifle's headspace...gonna reload brass that's been fired in this particular rifle...have neck-sized only.

The only way to move the shoulder back forward is by fire forming the case.
