A method of making a can body having at least one axial rib and a bottom including a step shoulder, said method comprising: placing a cup having a first depth and a closed end over a center block of a redraw die, said closed end of said cup having an inwardly tapering annular periphery; relatively moving a punch assembly including at least one axial bead punch over said center block in a single drawing operation to: form at least one axial bead in a side wall of said cup: form said cup to have a second depth greater than said first depth and form said cup to have a step shoulder; wherein forming said cup to have a step shoulder comprises: drawing metal from said inwardly tapering annular periphery of said cup; and characterised by collapsing said cup depth from said second cup depth to a finished, third depth of said can body, wherein said second cup depth is greater than said first depth and greater than said third cup depth, metal being drawn from said inwardly tapering annular periphery of said cup and collapsing said cup depth from said second cup depth to said third can body depth being sufficient to prevent said at least one axially extending side wall bead from extending into said step shoulder during the single drawing operation. placing a cup having a first depth and a closed end over a center block of a redraw die, said closed end of said cup having an inwardly tapering annular periphery; relatively moving a punch assembly including at least one axial bead punch over said center block in a single drawing operation to: form at least one axial bead in a side wall of said cup: form said cup to have a second depth greater than said first depth and form said cup to have a step shoulder; wherein forming said cup to have a step shoulder comprises: drawing metal from said inwardly tapering annular periphery of said cup; and characterised by collapsing said cup depth from said second cup depth to a finished, third depth of said can body, wherein said second cup depth is greater than said first depth and greater than said third cup depth, metal being drawn from said inwardly tapering annular periphery of said cup and collapsing said cup depth from said second cup depth to said third can body depth being sufficient to prevent said at least one axially extending side wall bead from extending into said step shoulder during the single drawing operation. form at least one axial bead in a side wall of said cup: form said cup to have a second depth greater than said first depth and form said cup to have a step shoulder; form said cup to have a second depth greater than said first depth and form said cup to have a step shoulder; wherein forming said cup to have a step shoulder comprises: drawing metal from said inwardly tapering annular periphery of said cup; and characterised by collapsing said cup depth from said second cup depth to a finished, third depth of said can body, drawing metal from said inwardly tapering annular periphery of said cup; and characterised by collapsing said cup depth from said second cup depth to a finished, third depth of said can body, wherein said second cup depth is greater than said first depth and greater than said third cup depth, metal being drawn from said inwardly tapering annular periphery of said cup and collapsing said cup depth from said second cup depth to said third can body depth being sufficient to prevent said at least one axially extending side wall bead from extending into said step shoulder during the single drawing operation.
