    Like you, initially even with the die bottomed out hard on the shell holder i couldnt bump the shoulder enough, with the correct shell holder i could.
    Thanks GWH, interesting... I have a Hornady #19 shellholder which I believe is the correct shellholder for the 6.5x55, though it's not a Redding. We've ended up with the Redding die as a stand alone, not a full set of dies that would include a shellholder.

    Regards,
    Joel
