Although I've not been loading long I agree with the others that say , just load them up with the charge and bullet you intend to use . Do the whole UBER accurate thing next time around . Your not likely going to notice a difference . The only real reason I only bump my shoulders back .001 or so is to get more reloads from them . If these are hunting loads . Your not likely shooting 100 of them every range trip and need the extra life .

I'm not sure if others do this but I bump my shoulders back .002 to .003 on my hunting loads to insure they cycle in the field .
