Yes, just set the die up so it doesn't bump the shoulder.

Sorry if this is stupid - do you put a spacer or something in between the shell holder and die base to ensure your only going down a certain depth?

I think you might need quite a bit more than 1/10th of a case neck.
Unless you are a crazy target shooter like I am and have just enough neck tension that you can't pull the bullet out with your fingers....JUST....

Thanks for advice. Will practice a few on some old cases and test chamber before focusing on lapua brass.
Was thinking I’d need to buy 3 x neck dies so thank you all.

The little ceramic balls are just media to hold the powder in suspension. When you run out of powder just add some more to the container.

The beauty of the 30BR is virtually zero barrel wear...
